A refrigerator includes a cabinet, an evaporator, an evaporator cover module, and a cold air supply module configured to communicate with the evaporator cover module. The evaporator cover module includes a rear plate that has a planar shape and that defines the surface of the storage space, a first insulation member located at a rear surface of the rear plate, and a second insulation member spaced apart from the first insulation member and located at a front surface of the inner case. The first insulation member and the second insulation member define a heat-exchange space configured to accommodate the evaporator between the first insulation member and the second insulation member.

A refrigerator includes a main body having a storage compartment formed therein, and a cooling module forming a machine compartment in which a compressor is disposed and detachably mounted to the main body. The cooling module includes a module body forming the machine compartment, a condenser of an L shape disposed on one side of the compressor and including a first part corresponding to a portion of a rear surface of the machine compartment and a second part corresponding to one side of the machine compartment. The condenser is vertically mounted on a base plate disposed below the module body. A module cover is provided to cover the rear of the machine compartment, and a suction flow path includes first and second suction flow paths.

A refrigerator includes a main body, a first storage chamber and a second storage chamber provided inside the main body with front sides thereof open. An evaporator is arranged inside the main body and is configured to generate cold air and arranged behind the first storage chamber. A first duct is configured to supply the cold air generated from the evaporator to the first storage chamber and a second duct is configured to supply cold air to the second storage chamber. A connection duct is configured to connect the first duct and the second duct to cause the cold air inside the first duct to flow into the second duct, and a damper is configured to selectively open and close the connection duct. The damper is provided inside the first duct, and the second duct has a flat front surface in a form of a flat surface.

A refrigerator including a cabinet in which a storeroom is formed and including a duct opening; a cooling module detachably coupled to the cabinet and including an evaporator, a condenser, a compressor, a module body having a space in which the evaporator is accommodated, and a duct module detachably coupled to the module body to guide cold air produced from the evaporator to the storeroom, wherein the duct opening, the duct module and the storeroom are arranged so that, when the duct module is detached from the module body, the duct module is passable through the duct opening to be removed through the storeroom.

A refrigerator includes a cabinet defining a storage compartment therein, a door that provides selective access to the storage compartment, and an ice maker provided in the door. An air duct directs a flow of air from an insulated chamber to the ice maker. An air cooling system cools air inside the insulated chamber and comprises a first non-evaporative heat exchanger positioned independent of and adjacent to an evaporator, a second non-evaporative heat exchanger provided within the insulated chamber, and a fluid line that directs a circulation of fluid between the first and second non-evaporative heat exchangers. The first non-evaporative heat exchanger is provided in heat exchanging relationship with the evaporator to cool the fluid positioned in the first non-evaporative heat exchanger, and the second non-evaporative heat exchanger is provided in heat exchanging relationship with the air inside the insulated chamber to cool the air therein.

A refrigeration appliance includes a cabinet that defines a cabinet outlet and a cabinet inlet in fluid communication with a freezer compartment. A door is pivotally coupled to the cabinet. The door defines a door inlet in fluid communication with the cabinet outlet and a door outlet in fluid communication with the cabinet inlet when the door is in a closed position. An icemaker compartment is disposed in the door. The icemaker compartment is fluidly coupled with the freezer compartment. A retainer is at least partially disposed in each of the door inlet and the door outlet. Each retainer includes a rim that defines ribs. Each rib is spaced apart from adjacent ribs. A gasket is coupled to each retainer. Each gasket includes an abutment surface that abuts a cabinet surface when the door is in the closed position to seal airflow passages between the freezer compartment and the icemaker compartment.

Present embodiments relate to an appliance. More specifically, but without limitation, the present embodiments relate to a modular compressor cooling unit for a kitchen appliance, and a method therefore which allows a single cabinet to be utilized for two types of appliance cooling systems.

A household refrigerator has a receiving space for food which is delimited by walls of an inner container. A covering plate that is separate from the inner container is arranged in the receiving space in front of a wall of the inner container. A functional unit of the household refrigerator is arranged in the receiving space in front of the wall and in one spatial direction of the household refrigerator the covering plate ends next to the functional unit. The functional unit is covered, at least in certain sections, by a cover that is separate from the covering plate.

The present invention provides a refrigerator which shortens the time of passing through a maximum ice crystal generation zone by efficiently blowing cold air to an object to be frozen. With respect to the refrigerator according to the present invention, the upper portion of the upper freezing compartment is provided with: a first supply air duct for supplying cold air during normal cooling operation; and a second supply air duct for supplying cold air during rapid cooling operation. During rapid cooling operation, the blower is operated, and the cold air supplied from the supply air duct is supplied to the upper freezing compartment via the second supply air duct and the air outlet.

A refrigerator comprises: a refrigerator compartment comprising a storage compartment and a ventilation channel limited therein, wherein the ventilation channel is configured to provide a cold air to inside of the storage compartment; and a ventilation control device, arranged in the ventilation channel. The ventilation control device comprises: a housing comprising at least one air inlet and a plurality of air outlets; and an adjustment member configured to adjust respective areas of the plurality of air outlets, through which air is output, by being controlled to completely block, partially block, or completely open each of the air outlets, so as to adjust an air volume of the air output to the storage compartment via the ventilation channel.
