A transportation container includes a storage volume. A refrigeration system is contained within the storage volume. The refrigeration system includes a fan configured to ingest exterior air, a condenser coil immediately downstream of the fan, and a vent configured exhaust spent cooling air from the storage volume. A controller is configured to control the refrigeration system. the controller includes instructions configured to cause the refrigeration system to detect an indication of operational deterioration of a transportation container refrigeration system, reverse a rotational direction of an airflow fan such that air is drawn over a refrigeration coil and expelled from the transportation container using the airflow fan, and revert the rotational direction of the airflow fan at a conclusion of a cleaning operation.

A refrigerator utilizes a quick fill dispenser that incorporates a fluid storage receptacle that is easily removable for cleaning and/or dispensing independently of the refrigerator.

A refrigeration appliance has a refrigeration appliance component and a cleaning device for cleaning the component. The cleaning device includes a cleaning element, an actuating element, and a connection element. The cleaning element is connected to the actuating element by the connection element. The refrigeration appliance has a cavity which extends from the front side of the refrigeration appliance to the back side of the refrigeration appliance, and in which the connection element is accommodated. The cleaning element is moveable across a surface of the refrigeration appliance component upon actuation of the actuating element in order to remove dirt deposits from the surface of the refrigeration appliance component.

The present invention relates to a refrigerator having a foreign matter blocking function. The refrigerator includes: a screen member detachably coupled to an upper end frame of a door compartment of a refrigerating chamber; and a coupling member which is disposed on the upper end frame of the door compartment of the refrigerating chamber and to which the screen member is coupled. The screen member has a function of preventing foreign matter such as fruit flies from entering the door compartment of the refrigerating chamber. Since the screen member is configured to be easily attachable to and detachable from the upper end frame of the door compartment of the refrigerating chamber, it ensures ease of cleaning and use.

The invention relates to a door for closing a cavity (3) included in a chassis (2) of a household or kitchen appliance (1), the door (10) comprising a first electrical component that can be releasably electrically coupled with a second electrical component comprised within the chassis (3) of the household or kitchen appliance (2) in the closed state of the door (10) by first coupling means (20), said first coupling means (20) comprising a first contact section (21) arranged at the door (10) for releasable interaction with corresponding second contact section (22) arranged at said chassis (3), wherein said first contact section is configured such that in the closed state of the door (10) an electrical contact is established between said first and second contact sections (21, 22) and said electrical contact is opened when opening the door (10), wherein the first contact section (21) is arranged at a removable door portion (11) and the door (10) comprises second coupling means (30) are provided for releasable electrical coupling of the first contact section (21) with the first electrical component.

A household cooling appliance includes a dispenser unit for dispensing a liquid and/or free flow refrigerated goods. The dispenser unit includes an insert having side walls bounding a niche into which a receptacle can be inserted for receiving the liquid and/or the free flow refrigerated goods to be dispensed. At least the side walls are partly covered at the front side by a cover which is separate from the insert. At least one side wall includes an engagement recess for engagement with a tool and for lifting the cover from the insert with the tool and/or at least one side wall is partly covered on the front side by a plate-shaped cover that is separate from the insert and the cover is held on the side wall by at least one magnet.

Improvements to a refrigerator with carbonated drink spout that provides a drink at the exterior of the door of the refrigerator. This allows a large number of people with different tastes to select any flavor syrup cartridge without limitation to a limited number of internal syrup flavors. It further eliminates the counter space and storage of the beverage dispenser. It also frees the interior space of the refrigerator that is used to store cold flavored water and carbonated beverages. The refrigerator includes internal CO2 tank and separate reservoirs of refrigerated flat and refrigerated carbonated water. The refrigerator includes an external port on the door allows a consumer to simply insert the desired syrup, select the type of water and begin the dispensing process. The delivery system is flushed with each use to eliminate cross contamination of flavors or syrups.

An access device for installation to a condensation drainage system, such as a drain line of an HVAC unit, includes a main body with connecting ports at opposite ends for sealed, fluid flow inline connection to the drainage system. A top cover releasably secures to the main body to completely cover and seal an open top and interior cavity. A cleanout adapter has a flange that surrounds a bottom opening. The flange includes a seal around its outer periphery and is structured for sliding receipt within either of two transverse slots within the interior cavity to position the bottom opening of the adapter in sealed alignment with either of the connection ports, whereby a pressurized gas or liquid flow source, or a vacuum source can be connected to a top opening of the adapter for clearing a clog in the drain line either upstream or downstream of the access device.

A refrigeration device, including a cabinet, a door body, a drawer, a first snap assembly, and a second snap assembly. The door body is provided to the cabinet in a drawable manner; the drawer is detachably provided to the door body, the first snap assembly is adapted to limit the door body at a first position where the door body can be fixed to the cabinet, the second snap assembly is adapted to limit the door body at a second position where the door body can be fixed to the cabinet, during the process that the door body is pulled out of the cabinet, the door body passes through the first position and the second position in sequence, when the first snap assembly fails, the drawer is adapted to be taken out of the door body, and when the second snap assembly fails, the door body is adapted to be separated from the cabinet.

The specification discloses a method for containing spills on shelving and the like, and the resulting support members made in accordance with the method, by providing the generally flat top surface of a support with a hydrophobic surface which is arranged in a spill containment pattern and which is generally in the plane of the top surface of the support. The majority of the top surface of the support consists of one or more spill containment areas which are of a non-hydrophobic nature and which are bounded by the hydrophobic surfaces, such that spills on the shelving collect in the non-hydrophobic spill containment area or areas and are prevented from spreading by the hydrophobic surfaces.
