Refrigerator

A refrigerator has a component subassembly incorporating a plurality of refrigeration components along an airflow path that extends between an inlet for colder air and an outlet for warmer air. The refrigerator further includes a noise reduction arrangement for reducing an operating noise of the refrigerator having a plurality of walls defining the airflow path. The walls include a noise absorbing material. The plurality of walls includes a plurality of external walls and a plurality of internal walls. The plurality of external walls defines an outer perimeter of the component subassembly and are oriented generally orthogonal to one another. The internal walls of the plurality of internal walls may be skewed relative to the external walls of the plurality of external walls. At least some of the walls of the plurality walls may be load-bearing walls.

Refrigerator with noise reduction

A cooling unit constructed in accordance with one example of the present disclosure includes an outer shell that defines an interior volume. A cooling system cools the interior volume. A temperature sensor senses a temperature within the interior volume. A heating element is disposed within the interior volume. A controller communicates with the temperature sensor and the heating element and activates the heating element based on the temperature satisfying a threshold.
