Airflow (Cabinet Interior) | “Jelly Roll” Condenser |
The freezer compartment is designed so that when the evaporator fan is operating, air is drawn into the bottom of the air tunnel and through the evaporator. The cold air is then pushed out into the top of the freezer.
The fresh food compartment receives chilled air via an electronic damper positioned at the top, rear of the refrigerator between the freezer compartment and the fresh food compartment. The damper is controlled by the main control board and when open, allows chilled air from the freezer air tunnel to move into the fresh food compartment.
Air returns from the fresh food compartment to the freezer compartment via a vent located to the left of the FRESH PRODUCE drawer.
The new NO CLEAN condenser is accessed from the rear and is designed to be tolerant of up to 2 inches of lint. The idea is that the consumer, in normal operating conditions, will never have to clean the condenser. If necessary, only an ordinary appliance brush is used. Air is drawn in from the outside diameter of the condenser and pulled out by the condenser fan. A condenser fan baffle is located at the rear to direct airflow through the condenser. Functionally, the condenser does the same job as previous models. Air is drawn in from front left and rear left and exits out front right side of refrigerator.
