A refrigerator comprising: a cabinet defining a refrigerated compartment and a machine compartment; a compressor disposed within the machine compartment and adapted to compress a refrigerant within a refrigerant line; a heat exchanger positioned in communication with the compressor and adapted to reject heat from a refrigerant into the machine compartment; a fan disposed between the heat exchanger and the compressor, the fan being adapted to draw air from an area adjacent the machine compartment and through the heat exchanger, the fan including an impeller, a fan motor coupled to a shaft that drives the impeller and a housing, and a funnel disposed between the heat exchanger and the fan and directing the air toward the fan, characterised by further comprising a tunnel disposed between the fan and the compressor and directing forced air from the fan toward the compressor, wherein the tunnel is offset from an airflow path that is substantially parallel to a rotational axis of the fan to redirect air from the fan toward the compressor, wherein an exit portion of the tunnel has a height that is greater than the height of the compressor, wherein the tunnel directs the air towards a control unit that is disposed within the machine compartment, wherein the tunnel is operably coupled with the funnel and/or the housing at an entrance portion, wherein the tunnel is disposed on an opposing side of the funnel from the housing, wherein the tunnel is configured to direct mixed air from the fan toward the compressor, the control unit and/or a heatsink as the air exits the tunnel through the exit portion, wherein the exit portion has a generally oval cross-sectional geometry that extends above and/or below the compressor to provide convection heat transfer to the compressor and/or the control unit when the fan is operating and wherein the tunnel has an intermediate portion that redirects the mixed air in a desired direction from the airflow path generated by the fan. a cabinet defining a refrigerated compartment and a machine compartment; a compressor disposed within the machine compartment and adapted to compress a refrigerant within a refrigerant line; a heat exchanger positioned in communication with the compressor and adapted to reject heat from a refrigerant into the machine compartment; a fan disposed between the heat exchanger and the compressor, the fan being adapted to draw air from an area adjacent the machine compartment and through the heat exchanger, the fan including an impeller, a fan motor coupled to a shaft that drives the impeller and a housing, and a funnel disposed between the heat exchanger and the fan and directing the air toward the fan, characterised by further comprising a tunnel disposed between the fan and the compressor and directing forced air from the fan toward the compressor, wherein the tunnel is offset from an airflow path that is substantially parallel to a rotational axis of the fan to redirect air from the fan toward the compressor, wherein an exit portion of the tunnel has a height that is greater than the height of the compressor, wherein the tunnel directs the air towards a control unit that is disposed within the machine compartment, wherein the tunnel is operably coupled with the funnel and/or the housing at an entrance portion, wherein the tunnel is disposed on an opposing side of the funnel from the housing, wherein the tunnel is configured to direct mixed air from the fan toward the compressor, the control unit and/or a heatsink as the air exits the tunnel through the exit portion, wherein the exit portion has a generally oval cross-sectional geometry that extends above and/or below the compressor to provide convection heat transfer to the compressor and/or the control unit when the fan is operating and wherein the tunnel has an intermediate portion that redirects the mixed air in a desired direction from the airflow path generated by the fan.
