Abstract: A domestic appliance may include a frame including a front face and a rear face. The domestic appliance may include a door that may include a pin housing that may include a channel that may define an aperture therethrough. The domestic appliance may further include an electrical connector assembly. The electrical connector assembly may include a first electrical connector disposed at the frame and may include a contact pad and a first magnetic element. The first magnetic element may be coupled to the contact pad. The first magnetic element may be disposed at the rear face. The first magnetic element may define a magnetic field and may include a second electrical connector disposed at the pin housing. The second electrical connector may include a second magnetic element floating within the aperture. The second magnetic element may be in selective engagement with the contact pad.

Abstract: The present subject matter provides a sealed system for an appliance. The sealed system includes a compressor operable to generate a flow of compressed refrigerant, an evaporator and a drain trough disposed below the evaporator. A bypass conduit fluidly couples a bypass valve and the evaporator. The bypass valve is configured for selectively directing refrigerant from a condenser around an expansion device to the evaporator. A portion of the bypass conduit is positioned at and connected to the drain trough. A related method for defrosting an evaporator is also provided.
