A switch assembly is incorporated in the circuitry of the refrigerator for direct activation by the timer assembly for the dual purpose of operating the drive motor and placing the refrigerator compressor in continuous operation. An integral timer is preferably disposed in the switch assembly circuit for causing cyclical operation of the drive motor to prevent failure of same which might otherwise occur during its continuous operation.
