A high dew point humidity sensor includes an enclosure assembly, an ambient temperature sensor, air sample intake and exhaust openings, a fluid-moving device, a heater block assembly, an internal temperature sensor, a humidity sensor chip, and a controller. The controller is configured to: (i) collect a measured ambient temperature from the ambient temperature sensor; (ii) collect a measured humidity of sample air from the humidity sensor chip; (iii) collect a measured temperature from the internal temperature sensor; and (iv) control operation of the heater block assembly based, at least in part, on the measured ambient temperature and the measured temperature from the internal temperature sensor.

The invention relates to a household appliance comprising a liquid receiving entity (2) for storing liquid, a liquid port (3) for supplying liquid to the liquid receiving entity (2) and a coupling element (4) adapted to provide a liquid connection between the liquid receiving entity (2) and the liquid port (3), the coupling element (4) comprising a U-shape or essentially a U-shape with a first and a second leg portion (4.1, 4.2) and a curved portion (4.3) connecting the first and the second leg portion (4.1, 4.2), wherein the coupling element (4) comprises at least one flexible section and wherein at least one leg portion (4.1, 4.2) comprises stiffening means (5) for stiffening the leg portion (4.1, 4.2).

In one aspect, a cooking device includes independently controllable cooking zones. In one aspect, a cooking device includes a first cooking zone with heated air configured to move horizontally there through in a first direction and a second cooking zone with heated air configured to move horizontally there through in a second direction different than the first direction. In one aspect, the first and second directions are opposite directions. In one aspect, the heated air flows from one side of the cooking device.

A cooking appliance is provided. The cooking appliance may include a guide that regulates an installation position of a water supply device with respect to a front panel. The guide may include a first guide coupled to the water supply device to align a relative position of a front surface of the water supply device with respect to the front panel, a second guide coupled to a guide protrusion to align a relative position of the guide with respect to an opening; and a fixer that fixes the guide to the cavity.
