Abstract
A cooling device includes a cabinet body that encloses a compartment, a door operatively associated with the cabinet body to selectively enclose the compartment, a heat source to heat transfer, a first magnetic element in contact with or attached to a front flange of the cabinet body and a sealing assembly for sealing an area between the cabinet body and the door of the cooling device. The heat source and the first magnetic member are at least partly in contact with each other in such a way that condensation problems thereof are effectively reduced.
