The present disclosure relates to an appliance. The appliance includes; a main body that has a first accommodation space therein, and a first sensing module that is disposed at the main body in a way that the first sensing module is disposed outside the first accommodation space. Since a sensor is disposed to avoid the effect of heat as described above, the sensor is much less likely to operate improperly or be broken because of heat.

Temperature-controlled drawer in a refrigerator

A refrigerator has a temperature-controlled drawer within a fresh food compartment that includes: a temperature sensor within the temperature-controlled drawer and/or the fresh food compartment; a display coupled to the drawer, wherein the display receives an output from the temperature sensor, determines what food type would be best suited for the temperature based on said temperature sensor output, and indicates what type of food it has determined is best for storage therein; at least one light within said drawer, wherein the at least one light changes to a first color, based on the food type indicated by the display, and turns off and on depending on whether the fresh food compartment door is closed or open, respectively.

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.
