Abstract
The partition between fresh food and freezer compartments of, for example, a 'top mount' refrigerator is movably mounted to vary the volume split between the two compartments. A lever actuated reciprocal drive mechanism is provided to translate the partition to its desired partition without the need to remove the partition or the food in the refrigerator to accomplish the change. The thermal break between the two compartments is maintained by an extensible section mounted between the movable partition and the fixed front mullion of the refrigerator.
