Abstract

An apparatus for storing food includes one or more food storage chambers, and a cooling device and fan unit located behind the food storage chambers. The apparatus also includes an ice maker, and a fan unit (430c) and associated ducting to convey cool air from the cooling device to the ice maker. The fan for conveying cool air to the ice maker can be a box type fan where the motor of the fan is located within a blade unit of the fan, to thereby save space which would otherwise be occupied by a fan having an external motor. In some embodiments, the fan can be mounted such that the axis of the blade unit is oriented horizontally such that no portion of the fan unit protrudes into the storage space of the food storage chambers.
