Abstract
A cooling appliance is provided with a refrigeration compartment, a cold storage compartment and a freezer compartment, which are separated from one another by partition walls and by at least one door or flap. A cooling air passage is associated with the refrigeration compartment and in its run-in region a cooling fan is arranged which sucks cooling air from the refrigeration compartment and its run-out opens into the cold storage compartment. Sections of a single evaporate are associated with the freezer compartment and the cooling air passage. Openings and/or gaps are provided in and/or between the partition wall and/or door which separate the refrigeration compartment from the cold storage compartment. A control or regulating device controls the running time and/or the speed of the compressor and/or the switched-on time and/or the speed of the cooling fan.
