Mini-freezer I believe this was Westinghouse's answer to Frigidaire's Mini-Freezer fridge. I think Gibson and GE also offered a fridge that could be paired with a matching upright freezer.

Frigidaire Mini Freezer That would be the refrigerator and freezer that my 6th grade classmate Roger's family had in their kitchen. The house was built in '64 or '65' and featured all Frigidaire appliances, including built in cooktops (2) and double ovens, in beautiful Turquoise. | ||

My sister had this type of Frigidaire fridge when she moved in, and that shoebox sizedfreezer couldn't keep anything cold, let alone keep her soon to be growing family's perishables in an ample quantity that she could stock it with more than just a few getting by items even with the ice trays removed...
Ditto for an older '50's Frigidaire in the basement with its matchbook sized compartment just for ice and mostly what accumulated init, needing frequent defrosting... Mom offered to just spring for a standalone freezer while she just insisted on waiting for the slow arrival of a GE replaced with a new 2020's Frigidaire, both freezers on top, former Stainless, latter, Black... -- Dave | ||

Frigidaire Called it Flowing Cold, Westinghouse called it the Cold Injector, basically Westinghouses was a cycla matic defrost with a circulating fan. | ||

Not arguing, but hidden coils/fan forced was, I think, a significant technological leap (from freezer chest in the top, to cold-wall, to cold-plate with a trough for drippage, to hiding the whole mess for refrigerator compartment, to the ultimate of .hiding it for both chambers. (It could be argued that drying out of food was worsened by each of the improvements...). Was Kelvinator was the last user of "cold-plate refrigerator/fan forced freezer" frost-free?
