A household refrigerator has a housing formed with a receiving space. An icemaker unit for dispensing ice is arranged in the receiving space. The icemaker unit has a tray in which shaping regions are formed for specifying a shape of shaped ice elements that are produced from liquid poured into the tray. The icemaker unit has a cooling device with which a cooling air flow is produced for cooling the tray. The cooling device has an evaporator and a fan. A fan wheel of the fan blows the cold produced by the evaporator in a cooling air flow. The fan wheel is arranged in a separate pressure chamber.

Provided is a refrigerator including a main body providing a storage, a dispenser provided to the main body and configured to dispense water or ice, an operable operation part provided to the dispenser, and a dispenser motor driven according to operating the operation part, wherein the dispenser motor includes, a stator generating a magnetic field, a rotator rotatable by the magnetic field, and a compression member applying a frictional force to the rotator while rotation of the rotator is stopped. The dispensing of water or ice is quickly stopped by stopping the operating of the operation part.

A refrigeration appliance includes an ice maker for freezing water into ice pieces. The ice maker (125) includes an ice maker housing (126), an ice making unit (156) for making the ice pieces, a removeable ice bin (135) receiving the ice pieces, and an ice dispenser having a rotatable auger (170) that drives the ice pieces out of the removable ice bin to a bin aperture (168) at the ice bin via a driving force applied in a first direction. A latching assembly is provided at least partially at each of the removeable ice bin and the ice maker housing, and is configured to apply a resisting force to the ice bin at least along a second direction opposite the first direction. The removable ice bin is selectively removable from the ice maker housing by the user applying a removal force greater than the driving force to the ice bin in the first direction.

A refrigeration device has an ice maker with an ice cube container in which a conveying device for conveying the ice cubes is disposed. The conveying device is connected by way of a coupling to a drive of the ice maker for transmitting drive forces. The coupling is configured to transfer the drive forces of the drive to transform them partially into forces that are oriented towards the drive.

A refrigerator includes a refrigerator door and an ice maker. The ice maker includes an ice storage container disposed on the refrigerator door, a stirrer provided in the ice storage container and an ice knife assembly provided in the ice storage container. The stirrer includes a rotary shaft and the rotary shaft of the stirrer is in a first fixed position relative to the ice storage container. The ice knife assembly includes a rotary shaft and the rotary shaft of the ice knife assembly is in a second fixed position relative to the ice storage container. The rotary shaft of the stirrer is located above the rotary shaft of the ice knife assembly, and an orthographic projection of the rotary shaft of the stirrer in a horizontal plane is perpendicular to that of the rotary shaft of the ice knife assembly in the same horizontal plane.

A refrigerator includes a main body defining a storage compartment, a door, an ice making device, a water tank disposed for supplying water into the ice making device, and an ice bin to receive and store ice pieces made in the ice making device. The ice making device includes an ice making tray having ice making chambers configured to be filled with water for making the ice pieces, and an ejector extending from an upper central portion of the ice making tray in a longitudinal direction of the ice making tray to pass through both ends of the ice making tray. The ejector is configured to be maintained in a fixed state during water supply, ice making, and ice separation processes, and the ice making tray is configured to rotate at an angle of about 360° in one direction with respect to the ejector.

A refrigeration appliance includes a fresh food compartment for storing food items in a refrigerated environment having a target temperature above 0° C., a freezer compartment for storing food items in a sub-freezing environment having a target temperature below 0° C., a system evaporator for providing a cooling effect to at least one of the fresh food compartment and the freezer compartment, and an ice tray assembly disposed within the fresh food compartment for freezing water into ice pieces. The ice tray assembly includes an ice mold with an upper surface comprising a plurality of cavities formed therein for the ice pieces, a heater disposed on the ice mold and an ice maker refrigerant tube abutting at least one lateral side surface of the ice mold and cooling the ice mold to a temperature below 0° C. via thermal conduction and a cover having a water fill cup integrated into the cover and an outlet aligned with an inlet of the ice mold.

The present invention comprises: a first tray for forming a portion of an ice-making cell; a second tray forming the other portion of the ice-making cell, and capable of moving relative to the first tray; an ice bin for storing ice separated from the first and second trays; and a full-ice sensing lever for moving together with the second tray in a predetermined range.

A refrigerator includes a body having a storage space; a door coupled with the body and for opening/closing the storage space, and an ice particle maker equipped in the door, wherein the ice particle maker includes a water feed nozzle for injecting water supplied from a water supply source into an ice particle making area; a cold air flow path for supplying cold air to the ice particle making area; and a dispenser for discharging ice particles made from the ice particle maker.
