- Abstract
- The operation of a side-by-side 623 L (22 cubic foot) refrigerator-freezer in use in a single family residence was continuously monitored for over two years. During this time, the daily cumulative number of freezer and fresh-food door openings, icemaker operations, defrost cycles, and compressor cycles were recorded.
