A refrigeration appliance, comprising: a wrapper forming an exterior of the refrigeration appliance; a refrigeration compartment liner and a freezer compartment liner, the freezer compartment liner having first and second side walls (66, 68), a top wall, a bottom wall and a back wall, wherein the wrapper, the refrigeration compartment liner and the freezer compartment liner are in a spaced apart configuration forming a refrigeration compartment and a freezer compartment; a door configured to provide access to and seal the freezer compartment; a seal around a periphery of the door; a mullion disposed between the refrigeration compartment liner and the freezer compartment liner, wherein the mullion includes a forward portion extending towards the freezer compartment, the forward portion including at least one air-deflection surface; a fan operably coupled with an evaporator and configured to direct cooled air within the freezer compartment, the fan being a component of a fan module that further includes a fan housing, the fan housing partially encompassing the fan and including an air outlet on a forwardly portion of the housing, wherein the fan is offset from the evaporator and configured to direct air at the air-deflection surface, the airflow directed towards the air-deflection surface being then redirected by the air-deflection surface in a direction that prevents the airflow from the fan from making direct contact with the seal after leaving the air outlet of the housing; characterised in that: - the air outlet includes a grill having vanes, the fan directing airflow through the air outlet, and subsequently, the grill, the vanes disposed in the grill directing the airflow towards the side walls (66, 68), the mullion and the air-deflection surface, - the side walls (66, 68) of the freezer compartment additionally include air-deflection surfaces on a portion thereof such that airflow that is directed at and along the side walls (66, 68) is further redirected towards a central portion of the freezer compartment; - a first air curtain is formed by the air-deflection surface on the mullion and a second air curtain is formed by one or more of the side walls (66, 68); and - the airflow that is redirected by the air-deflection surface on the mullion is offset from the airflow that is redirected by the one or more air-deflection surfaces on the side walls (66, 68). a wrapper forming an exterior of the refrigeration appliance;
