The present invention provides a refrigerator door, comprising a door housing, a door liner, a decorative strip connected between the door liner and the door housing, a thermal insulation chamber formed between the door housing and the door liner, and a storage device mounted on the door liner. The refrigerator door further comprises a power supply module used to supply power to the storage device. The power supply module has a pre-embedded component fixed in the thermal insulation chamber and exposed by the door liner, a power supply line passing through the pre-embedded component from the thermal insulation chamber and leading out, and a connection mechanism disposed between the pre-embedded component and the storage device and electrically connected to the power supply line. The refrigerator door of the present invention can prevent the occurrence of leakage during a foaming process.

The present invention provides a refrigerator door body, provided with a door liner and a storage device mounted on the door liner; a hanging lug and a fitting groove which fit each other are provided between the door liner and the storage device, a power supply module is provided, in a fitting manner, between the hanging lug and the fitting groove, the power supply module comprises a first connector provided on the hanging lug and a second connector provided at the fitting groove, and the first connector and the second connector are connected to each other in a fitting manner when the storage device is mounted. The refrigerator door body of the present invention not only can function to support the storage device, but also can function to supply power to the storage device.

A refrigerator includes a cabinet, a door configured to open/close the cabinet, an outer plate defining a front surface of the door and having an opening formed therein to pass through the door, a door liner defining a rear surface of the door, lighting members configured to illuminate storage spaces of the door and the cabinet, a transparent panel assembly mounted to shield the opening and allowing the storage spaces to be selectively seen according to an ON/OFF state of the lighting members, an insulator filled between the outer plate and the door liner, and a blocking part arranged inside the door along a periphery of the transparent panel assembly and detachably coupled to a peripheral surface of the transparent panel assembly to fix the transparent panel assembly.

An appliance includes a metallic outer wrapper having sidewalls, a wrapper backwall and a machine wall. At least one metallic inner liner has liner walls and a liner backwall, wherein the metallic outer wrapper and the at least one metallic inner liner are coupled together at a trim breaker to define a structural cabinet having a hermetically sealed interior cavity defined between the metallic outer wrapper and the at least one metallic inner liner. The trim breaker defines a front face of the structural cabinet. At least one trim breaker conduit extends through the wrapper and liner backwalls wherein the trim breaker conduit defines a conduit through the structural cabinet, and wherein the structural cabinet is hermetically sealed at the trim breaker conduit.

A refrigerator includes a cabinet, a door and a hinge assembly connecting the door and the cabinet. A sensor detects an opening angle of the door. The sensor includes: a first component and a second component, where one of the first component and the second component is a magnetic element, and the other one is a magnetic sensing element. The first component is provided at the hinge assembly, and the second component is provided at the door. This enables the magnetic sensing element to accurately sense a magnetic field of the magnetic element, and simplify a structure of the cabinet.

An appliance door including an outer skin extending between first and second distal edges thereof, and an inner liner disposed adjacent the outer skin such that a space is formed therebetween. A first endcap is disposed at the first distal edge of the outer skin and the first endcap partially enclose the space formed between the outer skin and the liner. A wireless module is positioned on the first endcap and is configured to wirelessly communicate with a mobile device. The wireless module includes a printed circuit board and an antenna, wherein the antenna faces outwards and away from the first endcap.

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.
