The door frame comprises a frame extension portion that is disposed between the plurality of ribs and the liner extension portion.

A refrigerator includes a cabinet having a storage space, a hinge bracket configured to be installed on an upper wall of the cabinet and having a hinge shaft, a door configured to be connected to the hinge shaft and to open and close the storage space while rotating, and a hinge cover configured to be installed on the upper wall of the cabinet and to cover the hinge bracket, in which the hinge cover includes a first mounting part and a second mounting part disposed to be spaced apart in a horizontal direction, a bracket cover detachably mounted on one mounting part of the first mounting part and the second mounting part disposed at a position corresponding to the hinge bracket and configured to cover the hinge bracket, and a shielding member detachably mounted on another mounting part of the first mounting part and the second mounting part.

A method for assembling a vacuum insulation assembly for an appliance is provided. The method includes steps of defining a plurality of spaces on a guide and positioning the guide flush with an inner surface of a panel. The method further includes a step of determining positions of a plurality of clips using the plurality of spaces of the guide. Another step of the method includes coupling the plurality of clips with the inner surface of the panel. The method also includes separating the guide from the panel and coupling permeable tubing with the plurality of clips.

A sliding and connecting device configured to slidably secure a cabinet panel to an appliance door includes a rail element and a sliding element. The sliding element has a first flat portion and a second flat portion. The second flat portion has a first cross-sectional hollow profile and a second cross-sectional hollow profile intersecting the first cross-sectional hollow profile. Each of the first and second cross-sectional hollow profiles are configured to engage and slide along a matching cross-sectional profile formed on the rail element.

A cabinet includes a frame, a drawer, and a lid. The frame defines an internal cavity. The drawer is slidably secured to the frame and is configured to slide into and out of the internal cavity. The lid is slidably secured to a top of the drawer, is configured to transition between open and closed positions, and is configured create a seal along the top of the drawer when in the closed position.

A door for a home appliance, a home appliance, and a method for manufacturing the same, are disclosed. The door for a home appliance comprises a panel assembly; and a frame assembly defining a predetermined space having an opening connected with an edge of the panel assembly, and making a foaming space for receiving a thermal insulator by means of the predetermined space of the frame assembly and the edge of the panel assembly, wherein a foaming injection hole through which the thermal insulator is injected is provided on at least one of ends of an upper surface, a lower surface, a left side and a right side of the frame assembly.

A refrigerator according to an embodiment of the present invention may comprise: a cabinet which forms a storage space; and a door which opens/closes the storage space, wherein the door comprises: a frame assembly in which a heat-insulating material is filled; and a panel assembly which is mounted to the front surface of the frame assembly and forms the front exterior of the door. The panel assembly may comprise: a front panel; a panel fixing member which is provided at the rear surface of the front panel; and a bracket for coupling to the frame assembly, the bracket being spaced apart from the panel fixing member in the vertical direction, wherein the panel fixing member passes through the frame assembly and is locked and coupled to one surface of the frame assembly inside the frame assembly.

A smart, movable closure system that allows access to the interior from the exterior of the cabinet, is disclosed. In some embodiments, the movable structure may be coupled with a cabinet interior that is adapted to be kept at a temperature cooler than the exterior cabinet ambient temperature, for example, to store perishable consumer goods in a retail setting. In particular, the smart, movable closure system may include electronic components that display graphical renderings corresponding to one or more products stored in the retail product container. In addition, the smart, movable closure system may include a controller that, before a user opts-in, generates an opt-in invitation at the smart, movable closure system, wherein the user may interface with the system with a wireless communication device.
