There is disclosed a refrigerator including an evaporator configured to generate cold air; and a grill fan assembly configured to blow the cold air generated by the evaporator to a refrigerator compartment and a freezer compartment, wherein the grill fan assembly may include a freezing fan module configured to blow cold air to the refrigerator compartment comprising a first storage chamber and a second storage chamber and the freezer compartment; a first flow path opening/closing damper configured to selectively block the cold air blown to the first storage chamber; and a second flow path opening/closing damper configured to selectively block the cold air blown to the second storage chamber, and the first flow path opening/closing damper and the second flow path opening/closing damper may overlap in at least predetermined area in a front-rear direction.

A refrigerator comprises a freezing compartment having an outlet, through which cold air is discharged, on a rear surface thereof, a first ice maker being mounted on an upper surface of the freezing compartment, and a second ice maker being mounted on the upper surface of the freezing compartment in a way that the second ice maker is spaced from the first ice maker, and further comprises an air guide comprising a first air guide outlet that is disposed to overlap the outlet at least partially and guides a portion of cold air discharged from the outlet to the first ice maker, a second air guide outlet that guides a portion of cold air discharged from the outlet to the second ice maker, and a third air guide outlet that guides a portion of cold air discharged from the outlet between the first ice maker and the second ice maker.

A refrigerator includes a cabinet including a refrigerating compartment and an evaporation chamber, a first door, a housing in the first door, an ice making room defining a cool air inflow hole and a cool air discharge hole, a chiller room defining a cool air discharge hole, a second door connected to the first door, a partition wall defining the ice making room, the chiller room, and a communication hole, a damper opening and closing the communication hole, a cool air supply duct connecting an outlet of the evaporation chamber and the cool air inflow hole to supply cool air of the evaporation chamber to the ice making room, and a cool air return duct having a first inlet connected to the cool air discharge hole of the ice making chamber and a second inlet connected to the cool air discharge hole of the chiller room.

A multiple drawer refrigerator, where each drawer is separately controllable to a temperature for a refrigerator or a freezer. Each drawer is isolated from all the other drawers, so that items in one drawer do not leech smells to another drawer, and so that opening one drawer does not release cold air from the other drawers.

A food-receiving container for a household refrigeration appliance includes a shell for receiving food and a ventilation device for carrying out an air exchange between the surroundings and the interior of the food-receiving container. The shell has a front panel on which a handle is disposed. The handle is disposed in an upper region of the front panel, when viewed in the vertical direction of the food-receiving container. The ventilation device is disposed on the handle. A household refrigeration appliance having the food-receiving container is also provided.

A refrigerator includes a storage compartment to which cold air is supplied through a cold air outlet, and a shelf mounted to the storage compartment. The shelf includes a shelf frame provided to form a rim of the shelf, and a cold air regulator manipulated from one side of the shelf frame so as to adjust an amount of cold air discharged from the cold air outlet to the storage compartment. The cold air regulator includes a connecting member configured to be slidable along the rim of the shelf.

A household refrigeration appliance has a thermally-insulated body with an interior container that delimits a coolable interior space, a refrigeration circuit for cooling the coolable interior space and at least one fan. During the proper operation of the household refrigeration appliance, the fan is operated in a closed loop speed-controlled manner according to an at least indirectly specified desired rotational speed of the fan. During an inspection mode, the fan is operated without closed loop speed control, the actual rotational speed of the fan is ascertained and the actual rotational speed is evaluated in order to detect an abnormal operating state of the fan.

A drive device with an abnormality detection mechanism may include a drive source; a drive member to which power of the drive source is transmitted; a driven member operably coupled to the drive member; and a detector structured to output a signal in response to the driven member being turned in the second direction around the second axial line. The driven member may be structured such that, in response to the drive member being turned in a first direction around a first axial line, the driven member is turned in a first direction around a second axial line; and, in response to transmission of the power from the drive member being disconnected, the driven member is turned in a second direction around the second axial line.

Provided is a refrigeration appliance that includes a fresh food compartment and a freezer compartment. An opening is provided between the freezer compartment and the fresh food compartment to allow air to flow from the fresh food compartment to the freezer compartment and an air tower located within the fresh food compartment is adapted to deliver air from the freezer compartment to the fresh food compartment.
