An ice maker for mounting into a household cooling appliance, the ice maker includes an ice producer for producing ice; a storage container for storing ice; a driving unit for driving the storage container, the driving unit having a drive housing; and an air duct formed in the drive housing. The air duct has an air duct outlet configured in a front wall of the drive housing which faces towards the storage container and an air duct inlet provided in a side wall of the drive housing which faces towards the ice producer. A fan is arranged in the air duct. The fan generates an air stream from the ice producer to the storage container through the air duct.

A fan assembly for use in an appliance provided with a housing including a first sidewall forming a first outlet and a second outlet, a fan disposed in the housing and configured to expel cooled air through the first outlet and the second outlet to a number of compartments of the appliance, a damper including an annular rim and a second sidewall extending from at least a portion of the annular rim, the damper configured to rotate to completely or partially cover the first outlet, the second outlet, or the first outlet and the second outlet, and a wiper including a main body disposed between the first sidewall and the second sidewall and configured to block the cooled air from traveling between the first sidewall and the second sidewall.

A fan assembly including a housing, an impeller, a first damper member, a second damper member, and an actuation assembly. The housing defining a number of outlets and the impeller being configured to rotate about a rotational axis to direct air towards the number of outlets. The first damper member at least partially extending circumferentially about the impeller and the second damper member at least partially extend circumferentially about the impeller. The actuation assembly is configured to selectively rotate the first damper member and/or the second damper member to partially block, completely block or completely open the number of outlets.

A refrigeration appliance has an internal container, which has a back wall and side walls, and an air distributor cladding which is arranged on the back wall and bounds an air distributor duct. A visible surface of the air distributor cladding covers a majority of the width of the back wall. Side faces of the air distributor cladding, together with the internal container, bound grooves that run on either side of the air distributor cladding and that are open towards a front side of the internal container. Outlet openings of the air distributor cladding are formed on the side faces.

A refrigerator includes a body including an inner case, a first storage compartment, a second storage compartment, a third storage compartment, a first partition between the second storage and the third storage compartments, a second partition between the first and the second storage compartments, a cold air supplier in the third storage compartment to generate cold air, a first communication hole, a second communication hole to face the first communication hole, a first guide duct formed in the first partition to guide the cold air from the first communication hole to the second communication hole, and a second guide duct formed in the second partition to guide the cold air which has flown to the first guide duct, to the second storage compartment, the second guide duct connected to the first guide duct through the second communication hole.

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.

A refrigerator include: an inner case having a storage chamber; a thermoelectric module including a thermoelectric element and a cooling sink; a fan configured to circulate air, to the storage chamber; a fan cover configured to cover the fan and having an upper discharge hole, a lower discharge hole, and an inner suction hole formed between the upper discharge hole and the lower discharge hole; a first receiving member disposed in the storage chamber; and a second receiving member disposed over the first receiving member to be spaced apart from the first receiving member. At least a portion of each of the inner suction hole and the lower discharge hole faces a portion between the first receiving member and the second receiving member, and at least a portion of the upper discharge hole faces a portion between a top surface of the storage chamber and the second receiving member.

A countertop freezer and systems and methods for removing moisture from a refrigeration system are provided. In some embodiments, the countertop freezer includes a bin. In some embodiments, the bin includes a removable insert that is adaptable to the type(s) of products to be sold. In some embodiments, the countertop freezer includes a sliding mechanism that causes the bin to slide outward as the door is opened. In some embodiments, the countertop freezer includes a lighting mechanism on the door that is modular/serviceable and shines light at an angle to allow the product to be illuminated both when the door is closed and when the door is opened.

A domestic refrigerator has a refrigeration compartment and a container which can be accommodated in the refrigeration compartment and has a lower part for receiving products to be refrigerated and a cover that can cover the lower part. The container has an air inlet opening and an air outlet opening that is at a distance from the air inlet opening. The domestic refrigerator also has a controllable air flow adjustment device and is configured to vary a volume flow rate of an air flow, which enters the container from the refrigeration compartment through the air inlet opening, between at least two values by adjusting an adjustment parameter of the air flow adjustment device. Furthermore, a method ventilates the container which is accommodated in the refrigeration compartment and has the air inlet opening and the air outlet opening.

A refrigerator to be installed in a storage space defined by a wall of an object includes a contact mechanism so that the refrigerator makes contact with the wall, and thus the refrigerator can be installed.
