A hinge assembly for a door of a household appliance has a first hinge and a second hinge. The first hinge includes a base portion and a door receiving portion. The base portion includes at least one elongated slot to receive a fastener. The elongated slot enables positioning of the door receiving portion. The second hinge includes a mounting block and a door plate. The door plate has a door receiving portion that has at least one elongated slot to enable positioning of the door receiving portion. The door plate is secured via at least one fastener to the mounting block. The mounting block is movable in a direction substantially perpendicular to the door plate for positioning the door.

Provided is a refrigerator having only a second door opened/closed or having both of a first door and a second door opened/closed using one handing by allowing a latch device to fix the second door to the first door or release the second door from being fixed to the first door. The refrigerator includes a main body having a storage compartment, a first door that is rotatably disposed in front of the main body and has an opening formed therein, a second door that is rotatably disposed in front of the first door to open/close the opening, a handle coupled to a front side of the second door to open/close the first door and the second door, and a latch device allowing the second door to be fixed and released to/from the first door.

A refrigerator includes a cabinet: a door formed to open and close the cabinet; an upper moving part coupled to the door and formed to be moved in a first direction with respect to the cabinet; a lower moving part disposed under the upper moving part, including an upper adjustment member configured to move the upper moving part in the first direction, and guiding the upper moving part to be linearly moved in the first direction; and a fixing part fixed to the cabinet under the lower moving part, including a lower adjustment member configured to move the lower moving part in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction, and guiding the lower moving part to be linearly moved in the second direction.

A low-bulkiness hinge for closing a closing element anchored to a stationary support structure, such as a wall, a frame or a floor includes a hinge body which includes a longitudinal operating chamber defining a first axis, a pivot coupled to the hinge body to rotate around a second axis between the opening and closing positions of the closing element, and a slider slidable in the operating chamber along the first axis. The operating chamber has a first seat for the pivot and a second seat for the sliding of the slider, which includes a shaft and an operative head that are mutually coupled. The hinge body has a first opening for inserting, perpendicularly to the first axis, the operative head into the second seat and a second through opening for inserting, coaxially to the first axis, the shaft into the housing. The hinge further has the shaft and the operative head fixed to one another after insertion in the second seat (so as to form a unitary assembly integrally slidable along the first axis.

A washing appliance having a removable service tray. The tray may include a cartridge removably received within a door of the appliance. A spring assembly may be positioned within the cartridge for assisting in opening the door. The cartridge and its components may be concealed from the view of a user at the front of the appliance.

A hinge assembly for a door, the hinge assembly including a hinge pin arranged to be fixed to the door at one end and having a pin connector part at an opposite second end. A rotation damper connected to a damper connector part arranged to cooperate with the pin connector part for transferring torque around an axis of rotation between the damper connector part and the pin connector part throughout an opening angle of the door, such that a rotational movement of the damper connector part about the axis of rotation in at least a first rotational direction is dampened by the rotation damper. The pin connector part and the damper connection part allow an initial closing angle of rotation of the door before the damper acts on the rotation of the hinge pin, the initial closing angle being at least 2°.
