Freezer with door closed. Note: Styrofoam panels extend to
the ceiling of the refrigerator and enclose forward cooling fins.
Freezer with door open. Two full-sized ice trays (4 1/4" x
10 3/4" with 14 cavities) fit nicely and freeze ice cubes overnight. Note: Although
not obvious, the side panel does not go to the back wall, but instead, an aft
panel fits between the aft fins of the cooling section, so the temperature sensor
remains in the refrigerator compartment and not in the "Super Freezer" compartment.
Also, the lower forward part is trimmed so as not to interfere with pop cans in
the refrigerator door.
