摘要: A refrigerator appliance includes a cabinet defining a food storage chamber with a drawer slidably mounted within the food storage chamber therein and a camera assembly positioned and configured with at least a portion of the food storage chamber within a field of view of the camera assembly. A method of operating the refrigerator appliance includes obtaining an image using the camera assembly. The method also includes analyzing the image and identifying, based on the analysis of the image, a potential odor source in the food storage chamber. The method further includes initiating an enhanced odor control mode in response to the identified potential odor source.

摘要: A water filter for a refrigerator appliance with a sensor embedded in the water filter and related methods of detecting a leak in the refrigerator appliance are provided. Such methods include, and the refrigerator appliance may be configured for, measuring, by the sensor embedded in the water filter, at least one of water pressure in the water filter and flow through the water filter. A rate of change of the at least one of water pressure in the water filter and flow through the water filter over time is calculated. When there is no system demand for water, a leak is detected based on the increase in the rate of change over time.

摘要: A refrigerator appliance, as provided herein, may include a cabinet, a first liner, a second liner, a first fan, a second fan, and a return line. The cabinet may define an evaporator chamber. The first liner may be attached to the cabinet and may define a first chilled chamber having a primary air inlet, a secondary air inlet, and an air outlet. The second liner may be attached to the cabinet and may define a second chilled chamber spaced apart from the first chilled chamber, the second chilled chamber having an air inlet and an air outlet. The return line may extend in fluid communication from the air outlet of the second chilled chamber to the secondary air inlet of the first chilled chamber.

摘要: A refrigerator appliance, as provided herein, may include a cabinet defining a fresh food (FF) chamber and a freezer (Fz) chamber, a liner, and a sealed system. The liner may define an icebox (IB) compartment. The sealed system may include a compressor, a condenser, a multi-path valve, a first expansion device, a second expansion device, a FF evaporator, an IB evaporator, and a Fz evaporator. The multi-path valve may be downstream from the condenser to selectively direct refrigerant between a fluid-parallel first restrictor path and second restrictor path. The first expansion device may be mounted in fluid communication along the first restrictor path. The second expansion device may be mounted in fluid communication along the second restrictor path. The FF evaporator may be downstream from the first restrictor path. The IB evaporator may be downstream from the FF evaporator. The Fz evaporator may be downstream from the IB evaporator.
