A bottom-freezer refrigerator comprises a generally rectangular box-like refrigerator housing including a top division and a bottom division with an adiabatic partition wall intervening between the top and bottom divisions. The top division has a refrigerator chamber and a crisper chamber both defined therein. The bottom division has a freezer compartment defined therein. The bottom-freezer refrigerator of the structure described above also comprises a first cooler provided in the top division at a location spaced from a rear wall portion of the crisper chamber, a first circulating fan disposed in the vicinity of the first cooler, a second cooler provided in the bottom division, and a second circulating fan disposed in the vicinity of the second cooler. The refrigerator chamber and the crisper chamber are cooled by the first cooler in cooperation with the first circulating fan, whereas the freezer compartment is cooled by the second cooler in cooperation with the second circulating fan.

1. A bottom-freezer refrigerator comprising:a refrigerator housing including an upper portion and a lower portion which are separated by an adiabatic partition wall, said lower portion having a freezer compartment defined therein, and said upper portion having a refrigerator chamber and a crisper chamber defined therein; a first cooler in said upper portion at a location spaced from a rear wall of said crisper chamber; a first circulating fan in the vicinity of said first cooler; a second cooler in said lower portion; a second circulating fan in the vicinity of said second cooler; and a valving device for switching flow of a coolant in a coolant circuit, so as to allow the coolant to flow through said first cooler and said second cooler when said valving device is in a first position, and to allow the coolant to flow through said second cooler without flowing through said first cooler when said valving device is in a second position, wherein said refrigerator chamber and said crisper chamber each are to be cooled by said first cooler operating in cooperation with said first circulating fan, and said freezer compartment is to be cooled by said second cooler operating in cooperation with said second circulating fan.
