Solution 1:

In Britain, we have freezers, and we have refrigerators (fridges), and they can be different appliances. A freezer is for keeping food frozen for longer periods, and a refrigerator is for keeping food cool for shorter periods. The appliance in the picture combines both and would be called a 'fridge-freezer'.

The parts are:

At the top the freezer

Beneath that, the fridge or refrigerator.

Some appliances just called 'refrigerators' have a small compartment called an 'ice-box' or 'freezer compartment' which can be used to keep a small amount of frozen food for a short time. A refrigerator without any freezer compartment at all is called a 'larder refrigerator' or 'larder fridge'.
