Abstract:
A side-by-side combination refrigerator containing a liner defining a freezer compartment and a low cost vertically extending evaporator mounted on the rear wall of the freezer compartment. The evaporator is a single bank serpentine tube having horizontally extending fins and is folded so that adjacent return bends contact one another, these return bends being held in contact by a tie wire. Low costs means are provided for supporting the evaporator, a cover plate separating the evaporator from the storage portion of the freezer compartment and a radiant heater defrost means on the liner walls.
