A refrigerator includes: a cabinet in which a refrigerating compartment is provided; a first door connected to the cabinet to open and close the refrigerating compartment and having an opening; a housing provided in the first door and accessible through the opening therein; an ice making room provided in the housing; a storage room that is provided below the ice making room and maintained at a temperature different from that of the refrigerating compartment; a guide duct provided below the ice making room to guide discharge of ice; a second door connected to the first door; a dispenser disposed on a front surface of the second door; and a discharge duct provided in the second door, wherein, when the second door is closed, the guide duct communicates with the discharge duct, and ice made in the ice making room is discharged to the dispenser.

A refrigerator that may include a cabinet to define a storage space, a door to open and close the storage space, a dispenser provided in the door to dispense hot water, a hot water tank through which water flows so as to heat water introduced into the door, a heater provided in the door to heat the hot water tank, a water inflow passage through which water is supplied to the hot water tank, a water discharge passage guiding hot water discharged from the hot water tank to the dispenser, a flow rate sensor provided in the water inflow passage to measure a flow rate of water flowing through the water inflow passage, a water inflow valve provided in the water inflow passage to adjust a flow of water in the water inflow passage, a water discharge valve provided in the water outlet passage, an input provided in the door to input a temperature of the hot water to be dispensed and a hot water dispensing command, and a controller to control the water inflow valve and the water discharge valve.

A refrigerator appliance includes a water supply system with a supply conduit connectable to a pressurized water supply such that a flow of water is flowable through the supply conduit to an exit of the supply conduit positioned at a dispenser recess. A dispensing valve is coupled to the supply conduit downstream of a flow restriction. A water tank is connected to the supply conduit downstream of the flow restriction and upstream of the dispensing valve. The water tank is configured such that a compressible medium within the water tank is compressed by water from the supply conduit when the dispensing valve is closed.

A refrigerator includes a storeroom configured to have a pantry install part. The refrigerator also includes a pantry arranged in the pantry install part. The refrigerator also includes a filter case configured to receive a water filter and arranged in the pantry install part to be covered by the pantry.

A machine for making and dispensing cold or ice beverages, such as cool drinks, slushes, sorbets and the like, comprising at least: a containment and processing tank for the product to be dispensed which has a front wall, which is equipped at the bottom with a dispensing mouth for dispensing the beverage, a dispenser, located at the beverage dispensing mouth and able to be turned on or off to allow the beverage to be dispensed; a thermal treatment cylinder located inside the containment tank; a stirrer located outside an outer surface of said thermal treatment cylinder and adapted to rotate about a respective axis of rotation; a refrigerating plant comprising a first exchanger, a second heat exchanger, a pressure reducing unit and a compressor, the first heat exchanger being located inside said thermal treatment cylinder, a containment compartment for the second heat exchanger, a pressure reducing unit and a compressor.

A fluid delivery system for an appliance includes a fluid line in selective communication with a fluid source. A shelf defines a fill zone positioned below an underside of the shelf. A shelf spigot is coupled with the fluid line and disposed proximate the underside of the shelf and over the fill zone. A fluid level sensor is positioned in communication with the fill zone. The fluid level sensor is also in communication with a controller that regulates a flow of fluid through the shelf spigot.

A water dispensing system for use in a refrigeration appliance comprises a three-way connector operably coupled to an inlet water source and configured to direct incoming water from the inlet water source into an ambient water holding portion and a cold water tank and a water dispenser disposed on a front surface of a refrigeration chamber door. The water dispenser comprises a three-way water control valve configured to dispense water from the ambient water holding portion, the cold water tank, or a combination thereof, an actuator operable between a first position, a second position, and a third position, and a paddle configured to actuate the dispenser.
