refrigerator

also called fridge · fridge-freezer

A refrigeration appliance that keeps food cold in a chilled compartment, optionally with an attached freezer compartment. It covers larder fridges, fridge-freezers, French-door and side-by-side units, and specialised chilled units such as kimchi refrigerators — every member has a chilled compartment, so fresh-food volume is always answered. Pure freezers (chest, upright), which have no chilled compartment, are the sibling kind Freezer. Beyond the defrost type and climate class any refrigeration appliance states, a refrigerator answers how much fresh and frozen food it stores. Distinct from an unpowered kitchen storage container, which stores nothing cold.
