ABSTRACT:
Providing an elongated vented drip tray having a narrow solid bottom to be used to collect frost as it melts during the defrosting of a gas absorption type refrigerator. The invention is particularly directed at gas absorption type refrigerators because solid drip trays currently used tend to obstruct airflow within the fresh food compartment. Because gas absorption refrigerators rely on natural convection, placing a solid drip tray inside of the refrigerator compartment beneath the cooling fins of the fresh food compartment somewhat inhibits the free flow of air in that compartment. By providing a vented drip tray, airflow throughout the fresh food compartment is not substantially hindered and airflow may actually increase.
