A refrigerator has a function display panel mounted to the housing, for indicating functional states and/or operational parameters of the refrigerator. The function display panel contains electrically charged pigment carriers that can be moved under the influence of an electric field. A plurality of electrodes apply an electric field to the pigment carriers. The electrodes are each assigned to one display element of the function display panel.

Refrigerator comprising a function display unit

A refrigeration device is provided with a housing having an interior and at least one housing part. The housing and the at least one housing part are interlinked to form a single unit. A sealing profile is arranged in the form of a frame-type structure between surfaces of the walls of the housing facing each other. The sealing profile consists of a compressible foam strand that is provided with a diffusion-inhibiting membrane extending between the surfaces.

Modular refrigeration device

An auxiliary cooling device is used in another main cooling device, such as a refrigerator. The auxiliary cooling device includes a thermoelectric element, such as a Peltier element, which includes a heat source and a heat sink. The heat sink is used to directly or indirectly cool an item, such as a bottle of liquid. The heat source, which is insulated from the heat sink, is in close thermal contact with a heat exchange fluid in a container. The heat exchange fluid is used as a thermal buffer for the waste heat generated by the cooling process. That waste heat may be transmitted into the main storage chamber of the main cooling device.

Auxiliary cooling device

A freezer includes a refrigerating surface that is capable of freezing and a measuring circuit for estimating the quantity of ice located on the refrigerating surface and for furnishing a warning signal when the estimated quantity of ice exceeds a limit value. The freezer includes a sensor sensing at least one climatic condition and a refrigerating surface periodically freezing, and a measuring circuit having at least one sensor and a time measuring device estimating a quantity of ice on said refrigerating surface based upon various factors. A warning signal is supplied when an estimated quantity of ice exceeds a predetermined limit value.

Freezer with defrosting indicator

A refrigerator includes a heat-insulating housing and at least one heat-insulating door fastened thereto. The door and the housing each have an outer cladding, an inner cladding, and a heat insulation layer produced therebetween by foaming and into which is introduced vacuum insulation panels on the door and/or on the housing. Vacuum insulation panels are disposed on the inner claddings of the doors and housings.

Refrigerator

An icemaker for a refrigeration device contains a refrigerant circuit and an ice container that is located in a subassembly housed in a refrigeration compartment of the refrigeration device. The ice container is in thermal contact with the refrigerant circuit by a first heat exchanger. A second sub-assembly that is located in a freezer compartment of the refrigeration device contains a second heat exchanger of the refrigerant circuit. Water in the ice container is cooled by the dissipation of heat from the second heat exchanger to the freezer compartment.
