Patent ID: 7971444

Claim:
A method of controlling a refrigeration compartment temperature comprising: acquiring a temperature signal using a temperature sensor, and processing the temperature signal to selectively control a fan-free, convection cooled refrigerating arrangement associated with the refrigeration compartment; wherein processing the temperature signal is carried out on the basis of a direct correlation between the temperature range inside the refrigeration compartment as acquired by the temperature sensor and the temperature on an evaporator of the refrigerating arrangement, and wherein the temperature sensor is located away from the refrigerating arrangement and in a specific portion of the refrigeration compartment volume, selected with the exclusion of a first top portion of the volume of the refrigeration compartment having a volume equal to roughly 8-10% of the total inside volume of the refrigeration compartment, and with the exclusion of a second front portion of a depth equal to at least 10% of the total inside depth of the refrigeration compartment.
