A service providing apparatus includes: a communicator configured to communicate with an electronic product, a user terminal, and a manufacturing server. The service providing apparatus further includes a controller that is configured to generate data to be transmitted to a service provider to enable the service provider to perform a service on the electronic product, where the data is generated based on product identification information that is associated with the electronic product and that is determined based on communicator identification information of the electronic product received from the user terminal through the communicator.

Apparatus and method for providing service

Provided is a refrigerator including an adiabatic space formed on an inner surface of a chilling chamber door and an ice machine disposed inside the adiabatic space, thereby enabling a more efficient usage of an inner space of the refrigerator. Also, the present invention provides a cooling air passage structure of a refrigerator for properly supplying cooling air for freezing to an inside of the refrigerator having an ice machine disposed on an inner surface of a chilling chamber door.

Refrigerator and cooling air passage structure thereof

A dispenser for a refrigerator is disclosed, which enables an effective usage of the inner space of the refrigerator and enables to always provide fresh water to a user. The dispenser includes a first pipe connected with a water supply source; a reservoir installed inside a door of the refrigerator and connected with the first pipe, for temporarily storing water supplied from the water supply source; a second pipe connected with the reservoir; and a discharging part installed in the door of the refrigerator and connected with the second pipe, for discharging part installed in the door of the refrigerator and connected with the second pipe, for discharging the water supplied from the reservoir depending on a user's necessity.

Dispenser for refrigerator

The present invention relates to a water heating apparatus having a heat exchanger that has a maximized heat transfer area between a hot water supply tube and a heater so that clean hot water is continuously fed without a time delay. To achieve these objects, a water heating apparatus comprises: a case defining a body; a hot water supply tube having an heat exchanger installed in the case; a heat storage liquid material received in the case; and a heater installed in the case, for heating the heat storage liquid material.

Water heating apparatus and refrigerator having the same

A method for controlling the purified water passage of a refrigerator with a water purifying filter is disclosed. The refrigerator has a first valve for controlling water supply to the water purifying filter and a second valve for controlling water supply to a dispenser and an ice-making unit. The method comprises the following steps. A first step is determining whether the dispenser and the ice-making unit are operated. A second step is opening the first and second valves if the dispenser and the ice-making unit are operated. A third step is determining whether a refrigerator compartment door and a freezer compartment door are closed if one of the dispenser and the ice-making unit is operated. A fourth step is closing the first and second valves if at least one of the refrigerator compartment door and the freezer compartment door is opened. A fifth step is closing the first and second valves if the dispenser and the ice-making unit are not operated.
