À l'exception des unités à une porte, dont le dégivrage se fait manuellement, la plupart des réfrigérateurs vendus de nos jours sont munis d'un système sans givre (dégivrage automatique). Quelques modèles offrent un dégivrage automatique partiel, c'est-à-dire que le dégivrage est automatique dans le compartiment réfrigérateur et qu'il est manuel dans le compartiment congélateur. Les unités à compartiments juxtaposés sont habituellement les plus énergivores, tandis que les modèles à dégivrage manuel sont ceux qui consomment le moins d'énergie. 1, record 1, French, - d%C3%A9givrage%20automatique
