Refrigerator
A refrigerator including a main body having a storeroom, an inner door rotatably coupled to the main body and having a door opening, an outer door rotatably arranged in front of the inner door to open or close the door opening, a dispenser including a water-intake space and an operation lever and configured to supply water to the water-intake space by manipulation of the operation lever, and an automatic water supplier including a water container installation space formed to have a water container mounted and a water level sensor configured to detect a water level of the water container, and configured to supply water into the water container to fill the water container with a certain amount of water. The water-intake space and the water container installation space may be arranged in the door opening of the inner door to be accessed while the inner door is closed.
Electrical connector for adjustable illuminated refrigerator shelf assembly
An electrical connector for connecting a light module of an adjustable shelf includes a connector box having a first electrically conductive material electrically connected to a pair of tabs of a frame member formed along a front end of the adjustable shelf, a slide member attached to a side of the connector box and slidable along the frame member to lock the connector box with the adjustable shelf, and a second electrically conductive material having a spring contact positioned on a top side of the connector box. The spring contact is locked to a conductive area of a shelf holder electrically connected to a lead frame of an appliance by sliding the adjustable shelf with respect to the shelf holder. The connector box electrically connects the lead frame and the light module positioned in proximity to the adjustable shelf after the adjustable shelf is mounted to the shelf holder.

THERMAL FRAME
The invention features a refrigerator cabinet door frame. The frame includes a thermally conductive outer frame, a thermally insulating inner frame member, and a sealing plate. The outer frame member includes a forward end having an outer surface that is disposed outside of a refrigerated cabinet with the frame mounted, and a rearward end defining a joint. The inner frame member includes a first end retained in the joint, and a second end. The sealing plate includes a first edge coupled to the outer frame member at the rearward end, forward of the joint, a second edge supported by the second end of the inner frame member, and a thermally conductive sealing surface. The first edge of the sealing plate is coupled to the outer frame member such that the sealing surface and the outer surface of the outer frame member together form a continuous heat transfer path.
