ABSTRACT:
A refrigerator having an outer case and an inner liner with insulation therebetween, the inner liner forming a fresh food storage compartment. An evaporator is disposed in the upper portion of the fresh food storage compartment. There is an elongate opening in the rear wall of the fresh food storage compartment and a drain trough is disposed on the interior surface of the rear wall below the evaporator and the elongate opening. A cover member is positioned in and covers the elongate opening, which cover member has a peripheral flange abutting the interior surface of the rear wall and a recess body portion extending through the elongate opening. There is provided a centrally located opening in the cover member and a trough on each side of the opening along the upper portion, both of which are arranged to underlie the exterior surface of the top wall of the inner liner. Both troughs are inclined downwardly to the centrally located opening whereby moisture condensed on the exterior surface of the top wall will collect in the trough and flow to the centrally located opening and therethrough to the drain trough on the interior of the rear wall.
