Publication number: 20060260342Abstract: An improved refrigerator is provided with a freeze tolerant valve for the water tank assembly in the refrigerator. The valve includes a body with an internal plastic spool which minimizes the volume of water within the valve, and which provides a space in the valve to accommodate freezing water in the valve. The valve will not crack or fail in the event of a temperature control problem in the refrigerator which results in frozen water within the valve.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 11, 2006Publication date: November 23, 2006Applicant: Maytag CorporationInventors: James Jenkins, Thomas Anell

Publication number: 20060260347Abstract: An insulated icemaking compartment is provided in the fresh food compartment of a bottom mount refrigerator. The icemaking compartment may be integrally formed with the liner of the fresh food compartment, or alternatively, may be modular for installation anywhere in the fresh food compartment. A removable bin assembly with a front cover normally seals the icemaking compartment to maintain the temperature in the compartment. A cold air duct formed in the rear wall of the refrigerator supplies cold air from the freezer compartment to the icemaking compartment. A return air duct directs a portion of the air from the icemaking compartment back to the freezer compartment. An air vent in the icemaking compartment directs another portion of air into the fresh food compartment. A control system provides for controlling refrigerator functions in a manner that promotes energy efficiency.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 27, 2005Publication date: November 23, 2006Applicant: Maytag CorporationInventors: Tim Coulter, Thomas Gose, Steven Herndon, James Jenkins, Bill Koons, Brent Kramer, Scott Leimkuehler, Dean Martin, Alvin Miller, Kevin Noel, Mauro Oliveira, Lester Ott, Ron Paulsen, Chad Rotter, David Stauffer, Kyle Van Meter, Alan Welch, Robert Wetekamp

Publication number: 20060196212Abstract: A water delivery system for delivering water to a water dispenser or an icemaker of a refrigerator includes a water inlet adapted to be connected to a fresh water supply, a water outlet connected to at least one of a water dispenser and an icemaker, and a flow sensor in fluid communication between the water supply and water outlet for generating flow signals which are used by a controller to determine flow rate and flow volume parameters for the system. The water delivery system also preferably includes a filter positioned between the water inlet and the flow sensor. The determined flow parameters are used for indicating a need for a filter change and to regulate the volume of water flowing to the water dispenser and/or icemaker.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 7, 2005Publication date: September 7, 2006Inventors: James Jenkins, William Vestal
