I-condenser isebenza ngokugqithisa igesi kwi-tube ende (ngokuqhelekileyo ihlanganiswe kwi-solenoid), ivumela ukushisa ukuba kuphume emoyeni ojikelezayo. Izinyithi ezifana nobhedu ziqhuba kakuhle ubushushu kwaye zihlala zisetyenziselwa ukuthutha umphunga. Ukuze kuphuculwe ukusebenza kakuhle kwecondenser, iisinki zobushushu ezinomsebenzi oncomekayo wokuqhuba ubushushu zidla ngokudityaniswa kwimibhobho ukunyusa indawo yokuchitha ubushushu ukukhawulezisa ukutshatyalaliswa kobushushu, kwaye ukuhanjiswa komoya kukhawuleziswa yifeni ukuthabatha ubushushu. Umgaqo wesikhenkcisi wefriji jikelele kukuba icompressor icinezela indawo yokusebenza ukusuka kwiqondo eliphantsi lobushushu kunye negesi ephantsi yoxinzelelo kwiqondo lokushisa eliphezulu kunye negesi ephezulu yoxinzelelo, kwaye emva koko idibanise kubushushu obuphakathi kunye noxinzelelo oluphezulu lwelwelo ngokusebenzisa i-condenser. Emva kokuba i-valve ye-throttle igxininiswe, iba yiqondo lokushisa eliphantsi kunye noxinzelelo oluphantsi. Ubushushu obuphantsi kunye noxinzelelo oluphantsi lolwelo olusebenzayo luthunyelwa kwi-evaporator, apho i-evaporator ifunxa ubushushu kwaye ikhuphe ubushushu obuphantsi kunye noxinzelelo oluphantsi lomphunga, oluthunyelwa kwicompressor kwakhona, ngaloo ndlela igqibezela umjikelo wefriji. Inkqubo yefriji yoxinzelelo lwe-steam yenqanaba elinye yenziwe ngamacandelo amane asisiseko: icompressor yefriji, i-condenser, ivalve ye-throttle kunye ne-evaporator. Zihlanganiswe ngokulandelelana ngemibhobho ukwenza inkqubo evaliweyo. Ifriji ijikeleza rhoqo kwinkqubo, iguqula imeko yayo kwaye itshintshe ubushushu kunye nehlabathi langaphandle
