Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0943880A2] A domestic refrigerator has an evaporator in the rear wall, and on the wall is located a defrosting water trap in the form of a groove. This is located into the wall so that it seals snugly with the wall on the inside of the refrigerator, and is set back relative to it. The transition between the wall surface and the groove (21) is formed by a slant face (24) which guides the defrosting water into the groove. The groove has a U cross-section. The wall involved is the rear wall, where the evaporator is located, and the groove is at the bottom. The groove runs at an angle to one side of the wall.
