A dual-compartment refrigerator having a single evaporator, a single fan, and ducts associated therewith for directing air from within each compartment over the evaporator, and for returning the air to the compartments. Operation of the evaporator is under the control of a thermostat in the warmer, food storage compartment, and temperature of the colder, frozen storage compartment is established and maintained by a manually adjustable, compound damper effective to proportion air flow between the compartments and the evaporator. The compound damper includes a first portion adjustable to establish the desired temperature differential as between the compartments, and a second portion adjustable according to season, or to extremes of usage, to maintain desirable temperature levels within each compartment.
