Abstract
Provided is a refrigeration appliance including a fresh food compartment for storing food items in a refrigerated environment having a target temperature above zero degrees Centigrade, and a freezer compartment disposed vertically below the fresh food compartment for storing food items below zero degrees Centigrade. A return air duct returns air from the fresh food compartment to the freezer compartment, and a bracket supporting an evaporator includes an air barrier extending between the air duct and a bottom portion of the evaporator to minimize introduction of air returning from the fresh food compartment to a lateral side portion of the evaporator. A fan is rotatable about an axis having a substantially-horizontal orientation to circulate air, and a heater extends along a bottom portion, and beyond the lateral extents of the bottom portion of the evaporator in an upward direction along lateral sides of the evaporator.
