A dispenser assembly for a refrigerator including a removable discharge nozzle. The dispenser assembly includes a dispenser body, a water supply flow path and a removable discharge nozzle removably supported by a storage part formed in the dispenser body. The removable discharge nozzle is coupled to an extension hose can be pulled out of the dispenser body by a user for dispensing water. The removable discharge nozzle includes a discharge flow path, a rotating shaft installed in the discharge flow path, an opening/closing member, and a discharge button for user manipulation.

A refrigerator including a buffer unit for restrict heat transfer between a defrosting heater and an ice maker on the refrigerator. The defrosting heater is disposed at the evaporator and can remove frost on the evaporator. A cold air duct guides cold air generated by the evaporator to the ice maker during the cooling process. A cold air supply passageway is disposed below an ice making tray inside the ice maker. The buffer unit is coupled between the cold air duct and the cold air supply passageway. The buffer unit has a curved up inner surface which facilitates formation of a heat vortex therein, thereby effectively restricting heat transfer from the cold air duct to the ice maker during the defrosting process.

Exemplary embodiments of a device and method for making clear ice spheres employing a large half mold (11) releasably connected to a small half mold (30), and an insulated vessel (70). When the device is filled with liquid and submitted to freezing temperatures the liquid freezes from the top down leaving a clear ice sphere in the mold.

An insulated container for storing or shipping bottles includes a body and a lid. The body has a shell and an insert portion formed from an insulating material. The lid also has a shell and an insert portion formed from the insulating which meets the insert portion of the body to form cavities. The cavities include a temperature control pack cavity and four or more separate bottle storage cavities distributed around the temperature control pack cavity. Each of the bottle storage cavities is configured for receiving a bottle from among three or more different bottle types. Each of the bottle types has a different shape and/or size than each of the other bottle types. Each of the bottle storage cavities includes at least three bottle stop features on one or more internal surfaces. Each bottle stop feature is associated with a different one of the three or more bottle types.

Provided is a refrigerator including a cabinet having a storage compartment provided therein, a main door pivotably mounted at the cabinet for opening and closing the storage compartment, an auxiliary storage compartment mounted at a rear of the main door, and an auxiliary door pivotably mounted over a front of the main door for opening and closing the auxiliary storage compartment. A first hinge bracket may be fixed to an upper end of the cabinet, the first hinge bracket including a rotation shaft that is coupled to an upper portion of the main door. A second hinge bracket may be fixed to an upper portion of the sub door, the second hinge bracket including a rotation shaft that is coupled to the upper portion of the main door. The rotation shaft of the second hinge bracket may be positioned more forward than the rotation shaft of the first hinge bracket.

A food-holding tray for a household refrigeration appliance includes a side wall and a guide rail disposed on an external side of the side wall for coupling the food-holding tray to at least one tray-external guiding apparatus for guiding the food-holding tray in a sliding movement. The guide rail, viewed in the depth direction of the food-holding tray, is tapered in a rear end section. A guiding apparatus and a household refrigeration appliance are also provided.

A refrigerator includes: a cabinet; a drawer door assembly including a front panel door part and a drawer part that defines an accommodation space; a rail that movably configured to connect the drawer door assembly to the cabinet and enable the drawer door assembly to insert into and withdraw from the cabinet; a driving device located at the front panel door part and configured to provide power; and an elevation device located in the drawer part and configured to be coupled to the driving device and elevate a portion of the drawer part relative to the front panel door part. The driving device includes: a motor assembly configured to provide driving force; a screw assembly configured to perform an elevation operation based on the driving force; and a lever that connects the screw assembly to the elevation device and that is configured to rotate based on the elevation operation.

A blast cell system is provided with simple and scalable designs that prevent short cycling of air flow through any pallets in blast cells. The blast cell includes a plurality of suction channels that provide independent fluid pathways for directing the air drawn from different rows in the blast cell into the fan.

A potable beverage temperature control device including a cooling plate, a first vessel, and a second vessel. Where the cooling plate includes a body, a plate coupled to the body, the plate having an upper surface, a leading edge, and a trailing edge opposite the leading edge, a refrigeration device in fluid communication with the plate and configured to change the temperature of the upper surface of the plate, and a controller in operable communication with the refrigeration device. The temperature control device also includes a first vessel having one or more nozzles in fluid communication with a reservoir configured to dispense the beverage on the upper surface of the plate proximate the leading edge. The temperature control device also includes a second vessel configured to receive beverage flowing off the trailing edge of the plate.
