Abstract
A method for adjusting temperature controls of a refrigerator appliance. The method includes scanning an indicium with a user interface, transmitting data corresponding to a registration request from the user interface to a server, and receiving, at the user interface, data corresponding to a temperature control adjustment instruction from the server.
Claims16
A method for adjusting temperature controls of a refrigerator appliance, comprising:
- scanning an indicium with a user interface separate from the refrigerator appliance, the indicium positioned on the refrigerator appliance;
- transmitting data corresponding to a registration request from the user interface to a server, the data corresponding to the registration request comprising a location of the refrigerator appliance;
- and
- receiving, at the user interface, data corresponding to a temperature control adjustment instruction from the server in response to an ambient temperature at the location of the refrigerator appliance comprising one of the ambient temperature less than a lower threshold temperature and the ambient temperature greater than an upper threshold temperature,
- wherein a temperature setting of the refrigerator appliance is only manually adjustable.

A method for adjusting temperature controls of a refrigerator appliance, comprising:
- receiving, at a server, data corresponding to a registration request from a user interface located proximate the refrigerator appliance, the data corresponding to the registration request comprising a location of the refrigerator appliance;
- determining an ambient temperature at the location of the refrigerator appliance;
- and
- transmitting, from the server, data corresponding to a temperature control adjustment instruction to the user interface in response to the ambient temperature at the location of the refrigerator appliance comprising one of the ambient temperature less than a lower threshold temperature and the ambient temperature greater than an upper threshold temperature,
- wherein a temperature setting of the refrigerator appliance is only manually adjustable.
