Refrigerator with a dispenser

A refrigerator comprising:

• a refrigerator door;
• and
• a dispenser arranged integral to the refrigerator door, the dispenser including:
• a housing defining a cavity within a front surface of the refrigerator door;
• an ice dispensing actuator positioned within the cavity defined by the housing;
• an ice dispensing chute positioned within the cavity defined by the housing and oriented closer to the front surface of the refrigerator door than the ice dispensing actuator;
• a liquid dispensing actuator positioned within the cavity defined by the housing and oriented closer to the front surface of the refrigerator door than the ice dispensing actuator and the ice dispensing chute;
• and
• a liquid dispensing chute oriented closer to the front surface of the refrigerator door than the ice dispensing actuator, the ice dispensing chute, and the liquid dispensing actuator,
• wherein the ice dispensing actuator, the ice dispensing chute, the liquid dispensing actuator, and the liquid dispensing chute are arranged in the following serial order, along a plane that extends substantially perpendicular to the front surface of the refrigerator door within which the cavity is defined, from a relatively deep position within the cavity to a relatively shallow position within the cavity or to the front of the cavity:
• the ice dispensing actuator, the ice dispensing chute, the liquid dispensing actuator, and the liquid dispensing chute.

A method of dispensing ice and liquid using a dispenser, the method comprising:

• receiving actuation of an ice dispensing actuator positioned on a back surface of a dispenser housing that defines a dispensing cavity, the ice dispensing actuator being actuated by a deepest surface of a container such that, upon actuation, the container is positioned under an ice dispensing chute;
• dispensing ice into the container through the ice dispensing chute in response to receiving actuation of the ice dispensing actuator;
• receiving actuation of a liquid dispensing actuator positioned within the cavity defined by the dispenser housing and oriented closer to a front surface of a refrigerator door than the ice dispensing actuator and the ice dispensing chute, the liquid dispensing actuator being actuated by the deepest surface of the container such that, upon actuation, the container is positioned under a liquid dispensing chute and not positioned under the ice dispensing chute;
• and
• dispensing liquid into the container through the liquid dispensing chute in response to receiving actuation of the liquid dispensing actuator.
