ABSTRACT:
A new refrigerator with a third door for reducing loss of the cold air held in a refrigeration compartment of a refrigerator by permitting access to a top shelf of the refrigeration compartment without opening the entire door covering the refrigeration compartment. The inventive device includes a refrigerator that has a refrigeration compartment, a freezer compartment, a fridge opening into the refrigeration compartment, and a freezer opening into the freezer compartment. A first door covers the fridge opening into the refrigeration compartment of the refrigerator and is pivotally coupled to the first side of the refrigerator. A second door covers the freezer opening into the freezer compartment of the refrigerator and is pivotally coupled to the first side of the refrigerator. The first door has an aperture that extends through it from a primary end of the first door towards a secondary end of the first door. A third door is provided in the aperture of the first door. A first end of the third door is pivotally coupled to the first side of the refrigerator and is positionable between a closed position and an opened position when the first door is closed.
