Abstract

A unitary refrigerator compressor and auxiliary condenser assembly adapted to be installed in the machinery compartment of a domestic refrigerator. The assembly includes a serpentine portion of the auxiliary condenser having an inlet and outlet end connected to the compressor, and a container supported on the serpentine portion for providing evaporation of water collected in the container. The serpentine portion of the condenser and container are in intimate heat exchange contact by virtue of adhesive bonding between the two components, and are resiliently supported on the base member so as to vibrate in unison with said compressor.
