RF interference from refrigerator's ice dispenser

The motor on the ice dispenser on my refrigerator causes TV Channel 8.1 to break up while the motor is running while dispensing ice. It doesn't bother any of the other channels we receive. I rarely watch live TV so this took a while to diagnose! I kept having 30-45 second periods of digital pixelization on my TiVo's recordings of programs on channel 8...it was obviously a transient interference, but it took a while to figure out what it was.

Any ideas on what I can do to shield the noisemaker from interfering with the TV signal? The attic antenna is probably about 10'' above and maybe 10' west of the refrigerator.

Thanks!
