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.

Abstract: A refrigerator appliance includes a cabinet with a liner spaced apart from a wrapper. A trim breaker is operably coupled with the liner and the wrapper. A trim adapter assembly is coupled with the trim breaker and includes an adapter member and a corner member. The trim breaker defines a forward receiving space and a protrusion of the trim adapter assembly is received by the forward receiving space. A heat loop assembly is operably coupled with the adapter member. The heat loop assembly includes a cover and a heat loop disposed between the cover and the trim breaker.
