Abstract: A refrigeration appliance includes a freezer compartment fluidly coupled to an ice maker compartment via an ice maker return duct. An internal sensor is positioned within the freezer compartment and configured to sense a first condition within the freezer compartment. An external sensor is coupled to said refrigeration appliance and configured to sense a second condition external to said refrigeration appliance. A return fan is positioned within the ice maker return duct. A controller is operably coupled to the internal and external sensors to receive sensed first and second conditions. The controller is configured to determine a differential between the sensed first condition within the freezer compartment and the sensed second condition external to said refrigeration appliance. The controller activates the return fan to blow air from the ice maker compartment into the freezer compartment in response to the differential.

Abstract: An appliance includes a cabinet having first and second sidewalls and an interior mullion extending therebetween, wherein the first and second sidewalls and the interior mullion define a plurality of interior compartments. First and second stanchions define vertical structural members of the first and second sidewalls, respectively. The first stanchion includes a first medial flange that extends partially into the interior mullion. The first medial flange defines a first hinge attachment point, and a distal end of the first medial flange is positioned proximate a first hinge.

Abstract: A manual mixing apparatus includes an elongate member extending along a longitudinal axis from a first end to a second end. The elongate member includes a first surface and a second surface separated by an opening or a flow passage therebetween. In one embodiment, the first surface and the second surface are concave so as to direct fluid towards the opening or flow passage. In one embodiment, the apparatus includes a flow separating structure located in relationship to a flow passage such that fluid flowing through the flow passage is divided. In yet another embodiment, the apparatus includes a paddle portion and a conical surface coupled to the paddle portion.
