Abstract

A domestic refrigerator has a coolant circuit with a capillary (16) interposed between the condenser (N) and the evaporator (E). Said capillary is arranged in the space between the refrigerator compartment (10a) and the freezer compartment (10b) in order to raise the temperature of the upper wall (12b) of the refrigerator compartment and to prevent the condensation of water vapour on said wall.
