    Abstract: A refrigerator includes a cabinet defining an interior volume and a door for accessing the interior volume. An ice maker is disposed within the interior volume harvesting ice. The ice maker includes a frame and a motor. An ice tray includes a first end engaged with the motor, a second end engaged to the frame and a plurality ice wells defined by a plurality of weirs including first and second sets of weirs positioned proximate the first and second ends respectively, and interior weirs positioned therebetween. Each of the first and second sets of weirs and the internal weirs include a passage bifurcating each weir into first and second weir portions. Each of the passages defined by the first and second sets of weirs have a cross-sectional area that is greater than a cross-sectional area of any one of the passages defined by the internal weirs.

    Abstract: A front-load laundry appliance having a door-in-door configuration with an outer door pivotally coupled to an appliance housing by an outer door hinge assembly and an inner door pivotally coupled to a wash unit tub by an inner door hinge assembly. The inner door hinge assembly includes a hinge leaf mounted to the wash unit tub, a pivoting track pivotally coupled to the hinge leaf, and a slide mounted to the inner door. The slide is coupled to the pivoting track in a manner that permits lateral movement. A telescopic attachment assembly couples the inner door to the outer door so that the inner and outer doors swing together between open and closed positions while still permitting the inner door to move and oscillate with the wash unit tub, and relative to the outer door, when the inner and outer doors are in the closed position.

    Abstract: A laundry appliance includes a cabinet. A door is coupled to the cabinet. The door is operable between an opened position and a closed position. An audio interface is disposed on the door. The audio interface includes a microphone for receiving a voice command and a speaker for projecting an audio output. A visual interface is disposed on the door. The visual interface is configured to display a message in response to at least one of the voice command and the audio output. A microcontroller is disposed on the door. The microcontroller is operably coupled to the audio interface and the visual interface. A proximity sensor is configured to communicate sensed information to the microcontroller. The microcontroller is configured to activate at least one of the audio interface and the visual interface in response to the sensed information.

    Abstract: A dishwasher has a tub defining a wash chamber with an open face, a pivoting door having an open position and a closed position, a slide system having a first rail including a transition element, a second rail slidably interconnected with the first rail for relative sliding, and a dish rack rotatably connected to the slide system by a pivot system. The pivot system is attached to the transition element to cooperatively pivot with the door as the door is moving from the open position to the closed position.
