    摘要: A refrigerator includes a cabinet, a door opening/closing the cabinet and having an opening that is penetrated in a front/rear direction, a transparent panel assembly mounted to cover the opening and through which the inside of the refrigerant is seen, and a lighting member provided in the door or the cabinet to brighten a rear side of the transparent panel assembly. The transparent panel assembly includes a front panel defining an outer appearance of a front surface, a rear panel defining an outer appearance of a rear surface, a spacer made of a metal material and disposed between the front panel and the rear panel to define a periphery of the transparent panel assembly. A heater mounting part on which a heater is mounted is disposed on the spacer, and when the heater generates heat, one side of the front panel, which comes into contact with the spacer, is heated.

    摘要: The present invention provides a refrigerator. The refrigerator has side-by-side doors including a first door and a second door, the first door has a rotatably provided middle post which has a locking mechanism for preventing rotation of the middle post, the locking mechanism has a release mechanism for releasing locking, the middle post is switched between a first position where the middle post is located when the first door is opened and a second position where the middle post is located when the first door is closed by opening and closing the first door, and the locking mechanism is released by the release mechanism during rotation from the first position to the second position; the locking mechanism has a projecting portion, and the projecting portion reduces an amount of rotation of the middle post when the middle post is in the first position and the release mechanism is not released.

    摘要: A latching assembly for a refrigerator appliance having inner and outer doors includes a catch and a latch. The latch is operable to engage the catch. As a result of such engagement, the inner and outer doors are latched together when the latch is engaged with the catch. The latching assembly also includes a trigger connected to the latch. The trigger is movable within a plane perpendicular to the vertical direction from a first position to a secondary position. The latch moves within the plane perpendicular to the vertical direction when the trigger moves to the secondary position. As a result, the latch is disengaged from the catch by moving the trigger within the plane perpendicular to the vertical direction to the secondary position.
