Abstract
A refrigerator appliance is provided including a freezer chamber divided into a first compartment and a second compartment by a removable mullion. A refrigeration system includes a single evaporator coil having a first evaporator section in series with a second evaporator section. The first evaporator section is positioned in the first freezer compartment to maintain the temperature in that compartment at a fixed, low temperature (e.g., 0° F.). The second evaporator section is positioned in the second freezer compartment which is a 'convertible' compartment capable of maintaining temperatures between the freezer and fresh food compartment temperatures (e.g., between about 0° F. and 37° F.).
