Abstract: A compartment assembly for a refrigerator includes a housing subassembly defining a generally enclosed area, an air outlet in fluid communication with the enclosed area, and a divider unit separating the enclosed area into first and second compartments. The divider unit includes a central wall aligned with the air outlet and exposing respective portions of the air outlet to the first and second compartments. A flap is disposed within the air outlet and is rotatable about an articulation point aligned with respect to the central wall and with a body of the flap extending in an upstream direction within the air outlet. A control element is mounted external to the enclosed area and is operably coupled with the flap to drive rotation thereof.

Abstract: A refrigerator shelf translation system for a refrigerating appliance includes a movable shelf, a guide structure provided with one or more indentations, and a fixed anchoring component associated with the movable shelf and movably associated with the guide structure. The movable shelf is held in a fixed position relative to the guide structure when there is cooperation between at least one locking span of at least one anchoring component and at least one indentation of the guide structure and, on the other hand, the movable shelf may be shifted vertically relative to the guide structure when distancing from all possible locking spans of all possible anchoring components and their respective indentations of the guide structure.

Abstract: A refrigerator door bin assembly includes a door liner defining a first side wall defining a supporting base extending from the first side wall. The supporting base defines a locking channel therein. The assembly further includes a bin body defining a first outer wall facing and positioned adjacent to the first side wall of the door liner. The first outer wall of the bin body defines an alignment channel receiving the supporting base therein. A locking rib extends within the alignment channel to engage with the locking channel.
