WATER DELIVERY SYSTEM WITH WATER FLOW SENSOR FOR A REFRIGERATOR

摘要

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.
