Abstract: An insulated structure for an appliance includes a plurality of walls, a cavity defined by the plurality of walls, and an aperture defined by one of the plurality of walls. The aperture is employed in evacuating the cavity to establish a less-than-atmospheric pressure within the cavity. A base structure is coupled to an interior surface of the one of the plurality of walls that defines the aperture. The base structure is aligned with the aperture. A pressure sensor is received by the base structure. The base structure and the pressure sensor together define a pressure-sensing assembly.

Abstract: A refrigerating appliance includes a lighting system having a lighting device arranged to operatively illuminate the interior of the refrigerating appliance based on a predetermined condition. The lighting device includes a light source and an electrochromic device. The light source is arranged to selectively provide a first light to the electrochromic device. The electrochromic device is selectively operable to emit a second light within the interior. The color, color temperature, and diffusion of the second light can be indicative of a status of the refrigerating appliance and can be selectable by a user.

Abstract: An appliance having a user interface with a first controller module, and at least one leak detector. The at least one leak detector having a housing with a second controller module communicatively coupled to the first controller module, and a power source communicatively coupled to the second controller module. The at least one leak detector further having at least one sensor communicatively coupled to the second controller module. The second controller module being configured to receive a status from at least one of either the power source or the at least one sensor.
