Abstract: A double door combination refrigerator freezer is provided and includes electrical refrigerating apparatus for maintaining the food and freezer compartment thereof cool. The food and freezer compartment doors each include a temperature indicating structure for indicating the internal temperature of the corresponding compartment as well as an adjustable electo-thermocouple for controlling the operation of the electrical refrigerating apparatus in a manner to vary the temperature in the corresponding compartment. The electro-thermocouples are electrically connected to the controlling circuitry for the electrical refrigerating apparatus by means of corresponding door and cabinet circuitry connected in series by means of corresponding coacting door and cabinet door jamb compression switch structure.

Abstract: A refrigerator principally for home use, the refrigerator having a temperature control panel on the front exterior thereof for indicating and regulating the temperatures within both the freezer and cool compartments, thus readily providing means for observing and controlling the existing temperatures therein, and eliminating the necessity of opening the refrigerator doors for ascertaining and adjusting internal refrigerator temperatures to efficient and desirable levels.
