ABSTRACT:
A refrigerator has a multi-purpose chamber in which foods can be selectively cooled or thawed. Thawing is performed by actuating a heater at the top of the chamber. The heat is circulated within the chamber by a flow of cooled air received through an orifice at the rear of the chamber. If the temperature within the chamber reaches a predetermined temperature after a minimum time period has elapsed, then the heater is deactivated. If the predetermined temperature has not been reached, then the heater remains activated until a maximum time period elapses, whereupon the heater is deactivated regardless of the sensed temperature. After the heater is deactivated, cooled air is continued to be supplied to the chamber for a preselected time period.
