    Abstract: An appliance includes a refrigeration compartment that is defined by a plurality of interior walls. A freezer compartment is positioned proximate to the refrigeration compartment. A compressor is positioned proximate to at least one of the refrigeration compartment and the freezer compartment. A first evaporator is operably coupled to the compressor. A suction line is operably coupled to the first evaporator and is configured to convey refrigerant from the first evaporator toward the compressor. The suction line includes a suction line looping portion that generally defines an inner suction line loop and an outer suction line loop. A capillary tube is operably coupled to the first evaporator and is configured to convey refrigerant to the first evaporator. The capillary tube is configured to contact the suction line looping portion, such that heat from the capillary tube is transferred to the suction line.
