Abstract: An insulated icemaking compartment is provided in the fresh food compartment of a bottom mount refrigerator. The icemaking compartment may be integrally formed with the liner of the fresh food compartment, or alternatively, may be modular for installation anywhere in the fresh food compartment. A removable bin assembly with a front cover normally seals the icemaking compartment to maintain the temperature in the compartment. A cold air duct formed in the rear wall of the refrigerator supplies cold air from the freezer compartment to the icemaking compartment. A return air duct directs a portion of the air from the icemaking compartment back to the freezer compartment. An air vent in the icemaking compartment directs another portion of air into the fresh food compartment. A control system provides for controlling refrigerator functions in a manner that promotes energy efficiency.

A removable bin assembly with a front cover normally seals the icemaking compartment to maintain the temperature in the compartment.

An air vent with a damper in the icemaking compartment directs another portion of air into the fresh food compartment. A control system provides for controlling refrigerator functions in a manner that promotes energy efficiency, including movement of the damper between open and closed positions. An improved latch and seal are provided for the ice bin assembly to allow removal of the bin assembly and to ensure a positive seal between the bin assembly and the front cover of the ice compartment.
Abstract translation: 在底部安装的冰箱的新鲜食物室中提供绝缘的制冰隔间。 制冰室可以与新鲜食物隔室的衬垫整体形成,或者可以是模块化的,用于安装在新鲜食物室的任何地方。 具有前盖的可拆卸箱组件通常密封制冰室以保持隔室中的温度。 形成在冰箱后壁中的冷风导管将冷空气从冷冻室提供到制冰室。 回风管道将一部分空气从制冰室引导回冷冻室。 在制冰室中具有阻尼器的通气孔将另一部分空气引导到新鲜食物室中。 控制系统提供以提高能量效率的方式控制冰箱功能,包括阻尼器在打开和关闭位置之间的运动。 提供了一种改进的闩锁和密封件,用于冰箱组件以允许拆卸箱体组件并且确保箱体组件和冰室前盖之间的正密封。
