Abstract
A refrigerator has a refrigeration control mechanism including a base mounted in the food storage compartment. The base includes a support plate extending generally horizontally side-to-side in the compartment. A pair of thermostats are mounted under opposite end portions of the plate and a lamp is mounted between the thermostats. Each thermostat has an operating handle extending forward of the plate. A bezel is removably mounted to the base and extends along the front of the plate aligned with the thermostats and lamp. The bezel includes two slots which receive the handles and permit sliding movement of the handles to adjust the thermostats. The slots and handles are sized to permit removal of the bezel without removing the handles. A light shield, removably mounted to the base, includes a bottom wall extending under the plate, aligned with the thermostats and lamp, and a frame encompassing the periphery of the bezel. The upper edge of the frame overlaps the upper edge of the bezel.
