Le système de froid ventilé comprend [...] une gaine qui relie le compartiment congélateur au compartiment réfrigérateur et, à l’intérieur de cette gaine, il y a un ventilateur qui fait circuler l’air entre les deux compartiments. L’air glacé du congélateur est aspiré et injecté dans le compartiment réfrigérateur et éventuellement, d’autres ventilateurs le font circuler jusqu’au bas du compartiment (bacs à légumes) puis une fois que l’air est plus chaud, il remonte pour retourner au congélateur pour répéter encore le même cycle.
