Patent number: 12276452Abstract: A refrigeration unit includes a cabinet and a first evaporator assembly. The first evaporator assembly is operable between an uninstalled condition and an installed condition. In the uninstalled condition, the first evaporator assembly is not assembled with the cabinet. In the installed condition, the first evaporator assembly is assembled with the cabinet. The first evaporator assembly includes a first evaporator, a first suction line connected to the first evaporator at a first suction line joint, and a first capillary tube connected to the first evaporator at a first capillary tube joint. The first suction line joint and the first capillary tube joint of the first evaporator assembly are leak testable in the uninstalled condition of the first evaporator assembly.Type: GrantFiled: December 29, 2023Date of Patent: April 15, 2025Assignee: Whirlpool CorporationInventors: Vishal B.

Patent number: 12222155Abstract: A refrigerator includes an insulated cabinet having a sidewall with a passthrough opening through the sidewall. A resilient insulating member is disposed in the passthrough opening. The resilient insulating member includes flaps that form an airtight seal between the resilient insulating member and the passthrough opening. At least one utility line extends through an aperture in the resilient insulating member. The utility line may comprise fluid conduit, electrical line, or the like that operably connect one or more components through the sidewall of the cabinet.Type: GrantFiled: November 20, 2023Date of Patent: February 11, 2025Assignee: Whirlpool CorporationInventors: Giulia Marinello, Rafael D. Nunes, Sanjesh Kumar Pathak, Manoj T. Sambrekar, Arpit Vijay
