摘要： A refrigerator includes a main body that defines a storage space, a door configured to open or close the storage space, and a dispenser located in the door and configured to dispense cooled water and purified water. The refrigerator also includes a purified water input part that inputs a command for dispensing the purified water, a cooled water input part that inputs a command for dispensing the cooled water, and a dispensing amount input part that sets an amount of purified water to be dispensed based on the purified water being selected through the purified water input part. The refrigerator further includes a filter device located within the storage space to purify water supplied from a water supply source, and a water tank storing water that has passed through the filter device in a cooled state.

摘要： Provided is a refrigeration appliance including a storage compartment, a user interface controller, and a user interface arranged in the storage compartment. The user interface is a stacked arrangement including a sensor assembly carrier, a graphic overlay, a light guide, and a printed circuit board (PCB) with a user interface controller and a self-capacitive electrode sensor. The main controller receives a signal from the user interface with self-capacitive electrode sensor and adjusts the temperature of the storage compartment based on the signal from the self-capacitive electrode sensor. A method controlling a refrigeration appliance with a stacked user interface is also provided.

摘要： A refrigerator appliance may include a cabinet, a door, a sealed cooling system, and an ice cream unit. The door may include a door liner defining an icebox compartment. The door may include a chilled air supply opening and a chilled air return opening spaced apart from the chilled air supply opening. The ice cream unit may be disposed within the icebox compartment. The ice cream unit may include a freezing tank, a rotatable auger extending into the freezing tank, a tank jacket, and a unit duct or support base. The tank jacket may receive the freezing tank and define a cooling passage extending about the freezing tank from a jacket inlet to a jacket outlet. The jacket outlet may be open to the icebox compartment to exhaust air from the cooling passage to the icebox compartment.

摘要： A refrigerator includes a water sensor unit secured to a case to overlap with a lower surface of a water tank, so that the water level sensor unit may maintain a constant position and operational stability may be increased, regardless of whether the water tank is mounted or demounted, and the upper surface of the water level sensor unit is inclined toward the front surface of the water level sensor unit, thereby reducing an operational error due to residual water.

摘要： A system for infusing hydrogen into water dispensing from a refrigerator appliance includes a tank defining an interior volume no greater than one liter. An electrolysis system includes an anode and a cathode disposed within the interior volume of the tank. The anode and cathode are configured to decompose water within the interior volume of the tank when a voltage differential is applied across the anode and cathode during a hydrogen infusion cycle of the electrolysis system. An audio emitter is configured to emit an audio alert in response to completion of the hydrogen infusion cycle.
