The present invention provides a refrigerator door with a replaceable door panel, comprising: a door body and a decorative door panel detachably connected to the door body; a rotary latch and a limiting member are disposed on the door body; a rear side of the decorative door panel facing towards the door body comprises a second limiting member and a lock post wherein when the decorative door panel is assembled on a front side of the door body, the rotary latch and the lock post snap-fit each other to limit a displacement of the decorative door panel in an up-down direction; the first limiting member cooperates with the second limiting member to limit a displacement of the decorative door panel in a front-rear direction.

A method for operating a refrigerator appliance includes operating a dispenser of the refrigerator appliance to initiate a flow of liquid water or ice into a container positioned within a dispensing recess of the dispenser in response to a user input at a user input panel of the refrigerator appliance, receiving one or more signals from a sensor positioned at the dispensing recess after operating the dispenser to initiate the flow of liquid water or ice into the dispensing recess, and detecting a presence of the container in the dispensing recess based at least in part on the one or more signals from the sensor only after operating the dispenser to initiate the flow of liquid water or ice into the dispensing recess. A related refrigerator appliance is also provided.

A refrigerator includes a cabinet that defines a storage chamber, an upper door that is configured to open and close an upper portion of the storage chamber by being drawn in and out, a lower door that is positioned below the upper door and that is configured to open and close a lower portion of the storage chamber by being drawn in and out, an upper door restriction unit that is configured to selectively restrict the upper door from being opened, and a lower door restriction unit that is configured to selectively restrict the lower door from being opened. The upper door restriction unit is configured, based on the lower door being opened, to restrict the upper door from opening, and the lower door restriction unit is configured, based on the upper door being opened, to restrict the lower door from opening.

Provided is a refrigerator including a body including a storage space; and a door configured to open or close the storage space, wherein the door includes a first door rotatably connected to the body by a hinge; a second door provided to be rotatable with respect to the first door; a magnetic member provided at the body; and a locking device provided at the first door and configured to interact with the magnetic member, wherein the first door and the second door are unlocked in a state where the first door is closed, and the first door and the second door are locked in a state where the first door is opened.

An appliance door closure assembly is provided and comprises an inner door selectively coupled with an outer door. An anchor is in connection with the inner door and defines a retention space. A latch assembly is in connection with the outer door. The latch assembly includes a first cam having a first contact surface and pivotally coupled to a base. A second cam has a second contact surface engaged with the first contact surface of the first cam. The latch assembly is movable between a first position and a second position.

A locker system for delivering heat sensitive products comprising a plurality of lockable compartments including at least one refrigerated lockable compartment, a control unit for controlling said plurality of lockable compartments, a cooling device comprising an expansion chamber receiving liquid CO.sub.2 from a reserve of liquid CO.sub.2 and delivering gaseous CO.sub.2 in each of said refrigerated lockable compartments through at least one common duct, and an extraction system to avoid excessive concentration of CO.sub.2 in a building where the locker system is located.

The present disclosure relates to a refrigerator including a latch device configured to couple or separate the second door to or from the first door, wherein the latch device includes a fixing member disposed on the first door, a locking member provided on the second door to be coupled or separated from the fixing member, and an input member provided on the second door to be rotatable in the left and right directions, and wherein the locking member rotates in a direction of being separated from the fixing member when the input member rotates in the left direction, and the locking member rotates in the direction of being separated from the fixing member when the input member rotates in the right direction.

A refrigerator including an inner door rotatably coupleable to a cabinet to open and close a storage compartment, the inner door having an opening, an outer door rotatably coupleable to the front of the inner door to open and close the opening of the inner door, a hook locking groove formed on the inner door, a manipulation handle provided to be rotatable with respect to a transverse shaft coupleable to the outer door and including a movable contact part, and a locking member provided to be rotatable with respect to a longitudinal shaft coupled to the outer door, wherein the locking member includes a hook lockable to and unlockable from the hook locking groove, and a passive contact part to selectively contact with the movable contact part.

The invention discloses a locking device and a refrigerator, wherein the locking device comprises a first lock block and a second lock block; the first lock block comprises a base and a tongue; the second lock block comprises an accommodating cavity, a clamping block, a return spring and a pushing block; the pushing block pushes the clamping block to slide in the sliding groove; and the tongue enters the tongue channel to be engaged with the clamping block so that the two lock blocks are engaged with each other. The locking device has the function of automatically adjusting the height difference between different cabinet doors and cabinet bodies, and is therefore more flexibly suitable for locking various cabinets or refrigerators.

A door for a refrigerator includes an accommodating portion; a user-interface electrical module, at least partially located in the accommodating portion; a front panel, covering the front of the user-interface electrical module; a handle groove, the handle groove and the accommodating portion being adjacent in a depth direction of the handle groove; and a gripping portion, located in front of the handle groove. The gripping portion includes a decoration portion and a base portion located behind the front panel, and the decoration portion and the front panel are adjacent in the depth direction of the handle groove and are exposed on a front side of the door.
