The clothes care apparatus includes a main body having a clothes care compartment, a blowing device configured such that an airflow is formed inside the clothes care compartment, a hanger configured to hang clothes in the clothes care compartment and allow the airflow generated by the blowing device to flow through the inside of the hanger, a hanger plate on which the hanger is detachably provided, and a tilting device configured to tilt the hanger plate.

Clothes care apparatus

The present application discloses a refrigerator capable of easily fixing a drain hose to one side of an inner case without having an additional fixing member used of fixing a drain hose. A refrigerator having an inner case configured to have a storage compartment formed therein; an outer case disposed outside the inner case and spaced a predetermined distance away from the inner case; a drain hose connected to one side of the inner case and disposed in an inner space formed between the inner case and the outer case; and a connector configured to connect the drain hose to the inner case, wherein the connector is mounted in the inner case using a hooking method.

Refrigerator

A refrigerator which variably controls operation of a sterilizer according to variation in humidity within the refrigerator to improve sterilizing capacity includes a control unit to drive the sterilizer while repeatedly turning the cold air circulation fan on/off during a refrigerating cycle in which the defrosting heater is not operated, and stop driving the sterilizer during operation of the defrosting heater.

Refrigerator with sterilizer

A structure for packaging an interior part such as a shelf and a door guard to prevent the interior part from being damaged due to impact and friction during transportation of a refrigerator is provided. Each of the shelf and the door guard may be accommodated in a shock-absorbing member in a state of being separated from each mounting portion to be fixed within a storage chamber. The shock-absorbing member coupled with the shelf or the door guard may be packaged by a package member and be fixed to a shelf mounting portion of an inner case.

A control method of a refrigerator including a compressor to supply refrigerant to an evaporator to cool a storage compartment, a valve to adjust flow of the refrigerant, a fan to blow air heat-exchanged by the evaporator, and a heater to remove frost from the evaporator. The control method includes, upon receiving a power-saving signal, determining whether the received power-saving signal is a first or second power-saving mode signal, upon determining that the power-saving signal is the first power-saving mode signal, performing at least one selected from among resetting of target temperature of the storage compartment, adjustment of an operation rate of the compressor, and adjustment of operation time of the heater to execute a first power-saving mode, and, upon determining that the power-saving signal is the second power-saving mode signal, controlling the compressor, the fan, and the heater to be off to execute a second power-saving mode.

Refrigerator and control method thereof

Disclosed herein is a refrigerator which performs a light emitting operation in connection with opening and closing of doors and a home bar door. The refrigerator includes a front glass, a light guide member disposed on a rear surface of the front glass, a light emitting device disposed at the outside of the light guide member to generate light toward the light guide member, scattering members provided within the light guide member to scatter the light of the light emitting device transmitted through the light guide member, and transmitting parts provided on the front glass corresponding to the scattering members to transmit the light of the scattering members toward the front surface of each door, and the light emitting device emits light in connection with opened and closed states of the doors.

A refrigerator for supplying a proper amount of water and a control method thereof. The refrigerator is optimally operated in ice-making and ice-separating modes based on the amount of water supplied for making ice cubes, and a control method thereof. The method includes the steps of (a) determining whether or not a proper amount of water is supplied to an ice cube tray in an earlier water supply mode; (b) maintaining the amount of the supplied water in the earlier water supply mode to the amount of the supplied water in a present water supply mode in case that the proper amount of the water is supplied to the ice cube tray in the earlier water supply mode, and resetting the amount of the supplied water in the present water supply mode by increasing the amount of the supplied water in the earlier water supply mode in case that the proper amount of the water is not supplied to the ice cube tray in the earlier water supply mode; and (c) supplying the water according to the amount of the supplied water in the present water supply mode.

An evaporator for ice maker comprises having a plate and spacer with heat conductivity of the plate being higher than of the spacer so that the evaporator can separate the ice cubes easily, thus enabling the plate and the spacer to be manufactured easily with interengaging connecting means.
