If the Bradys have water and ice dispensers in the door of their refrigerator, why would Carol use ice cube trays in "The Treasure of Sierra Avenue"? :crazy:

Maybe the ice dispenser was broken? Not a very satisfying answer, of course...

I think it was just for show because I don't ever remember them using it.

With Carol and the ice cube tray, I think it was supposed to be funny and it was too.

Bulk ice from trays and door ice for glasses

The ice dispenser being broken is actually pretty realistic. They had 9 people using it. Probably got a lot of wear and tear. And it was relatively new to have a dispenser like that back then - they probably weren’t that durable.
