A fastener clip is adapted for removably mounting a plate-like member to a side wall, the plate-like member including a leading edge perpendicular to the side wall. The fastener clip comprises a base member adapted for secure mounting to the side wall and a pair of spaced resilient parallel legs projecting outwardly from the base member generally perpendicularly to the side wall. The gap between the parallel legs is generally parallel to the installed position of the plate-like member. A head is formed on the end of each leg, extending generally away from the gap. Each of the heads has at least a first inclined surface, with the first inclined surfaces oriented with respect to each other so as to form a generally 'V' shaped channel for guiding the leading edge and bead of the plate-like member into the space between the parallel legs.

An airflow distribution arrangement in a side-by-side refrigerator includes a cover which is located in the freezer compartment and which has an inner surface against which cool evaporator airflow is directed. A portion of the airflow travels down the inner surface of the cover to emerge through openings in the bottom of the cover into the freezer compartment. Additionally, the inner surface of the cover forms a part of a lateral duct in communication with the fresh food compartment. In order to force a sufficient quantity of cool evaporator airflow through the lateral duct into the fresh food compartment, a horizontally-extending, inward bulge is formed in the cover and located generally between the region on the inner surface of the cover against which airflow is directed and the bottom of the cover. The inward bulge serves to interrupt the otherwise smooth downward flow of air to produce an air eddy which in turn produces back pressure.

An apparatus and method for forming a water delivery system for an automatic ice-forming element of a refrigeration apparatus. The refrigeration apparatus is formed of inner and outer spaced-apart cases with a holding element positioned between the cases in contact with a water supply line for maintaining said line in heat exchange relationship with at least one wall of the outer case.
