    摘要: A method for detecting entrapment of an article between a laundry machine door and bellows, comprising: identifying a maximum startup motor torque value of the drum motor while accelerating the drum from a stop to a target rotation speed; identifying a maximum operating motor torque value while rotating the drum at the target rotation speed; comparing a difference between the maximum startup motor torque value and the maximum operating motor torque value to a predetermined torque difference value; and terminating operation if the difference exceeds the predetermined torque difference value. A laundry washing machine configured to perform the method is also provided.

    摘要: A refrigeration appliance includes a cabinet defining a food storage compartment being at least partially closeable by a door-in-door assembly including an inner door sealing against the cabinet and an outer door sealing against the inner door. The inner door has an opening extending therethrough in communication with the compartment when the inner door is closed. The outer door includes a window extending therethrough being covered at an inner side by an inner pane of glass and at an outer side by an outer pane of glass covering a majority of a front of the outer door to provide the effect of a full glass door. A user interface (UI) is disposed in the outer door and is configured to control appliance features upon selective user contact with the outer pane. The door assembly includes a light element for illuminating at least one of the outer pane and the compartment.

    摘要: A refrigerator appliance includes a storage compartment having a crisper assembly disposed therein. The crisper assembly includes a drawer, a lid, and a shelf. The lid is fixed to the storage compartment and remains stationary therewith. The drawer and the shelf are each configured to be extended or retracted relative to the storage compartment and are provided in a stacked arrangement. The lid seals the drawer when the drawer is in the retracted position.

    摘要: A refrigerator includes: a fresh food compartment with an interior wall, an opening, and a door movable between a closed position and an open position for accessing the fresh food compartment via the opening; a cold plate mounted in the interior wall with an evaporator in contact with the cold plate; a chilled component movably mounted on the door adjacent the cold plate, the chilled component includes a heat transfer plate on a side of the chilled component for thermal communication with the cold plate, and a biaser moves the chilled component into thermal communication with the cold plate when the door is closed. The chilled component may be: an ice maker, a liquid/drink cooler, a vegetable cooler, a meat cooler, and/or a wine cooler. The biaser may include the following for moving the chilled component: a spring, an inclined plane, a pulley and weights, and/or a hydraulic piston.
