Abstract: A side-by-side refrigerator includes fresh food and freezer compartments each having upper and lower sections which vary in width and volume. In accordance with a preferred embodiment, the fresh food compartment is wider at an upper portion than at a lower portion thereof and the freezer compartment is wider at a lower portion than at an upper portion, while the overall cabinet width of the refrigerator does not deviate from that of a conventional side-by-side refrigerator arrangement. Due to the interior size alterations, the fresh food and freezer doors of the side-by-side refrigerator are correspondingly configured and a mullion dividing the two refrigerator compartments extends in laterally offset vertical planes. An ice and/or water dispenser can be provided, such as in the freezer door or fixed relative to the fresh food and freezer doors in a central zone which is arranged vertically and laterally between portions of the doors.
