    Abstract: A method of measuring pressure includes the steps of (1) providing a vacuum cabinet with a storage compartment and an insulating space, and three temperature sensors; (2) sensing a first temperature level of an interior wall of the storage compartment; (3) sensing an ambient temperature level within the storage compartment; (4) sensing a second temperature level of an exterior wall of the storage compartment; (5) calculating an overall heat transfer coefficient (Q) using the ambient temperature level, the first temperature level, and a convective heat transfer coefficient for the interior wall of the storage compartment; (6) calculating a temperature differential between the second and first temperature levels; (7) determining a conductivity level (K) using the temperature differential, the overall heat transfer coefficient (Q) and a thickness of the insulating space; and (8) determining a pressure level (P) within the insulating space using the conductivity level (K).

    Abstract: A refrigerator includes a cabinet defining an upper storage space, a lower storage space and a machine room provided at a lower end of the cabinet. A dispenser is provided in an upper door of the upper storage space to dispense water or liquid, and an ice maker is provided inside the upper door to make ice. A pump assembly is provided inside the machine room to pump water through a water supply passage from a water tank to the dispenser and the ice maker. The water supply passage extends downward from the water tank after passing through a rear surface of the cabinet to connect to the pump assembly inside the machine room and extends upward from the pump assembly and passes through an upper surface of the cabinet to connect to the dispenser and the ice maker.

    Abstract: A refrigerator includes: a door including a door body and a door panel coupled to the door body, and a buffer member disposed at a rear surface of the door panel and provided between the door body and the door panel. The door body defines a first part at a front surface, an adhesive portion is provided at the first part between the door body and the door panel to thereby couple a rear surface of the door panel to the front surface of the door body, and the buffer member contacts a first portion of the adhesive portion and the rear surface of the door panel contacts a second portion of the adhesive portion.
