Default Air flow diagrams for refrigerators

Man-wai Chang wrote the following:

Would like to find out how the air flows in a Panasonic refrigerator.

Is there a website for that?

If the panasonic air flow is similar to other refrigerators:
The evaporator fan blows cold air into the freezer and from there it
vents into the refrigerator. Occasionally the vents between the freezer
and refrigerator can become clogged with ice, food or other debris. In
most refrigerators the cold control for the refrigerator opens and
closes these vents. That mechanism may become inoperative resulting in
the vents becoming stuck open or closed.
Are you having a similar problem?
The vent in my garage refrigerator somehow became stuck open freezing
everything in the lower fridge part. Soda cans were blown open, spraying
the insides..
Luckily, I keep my beer in another fridge.
I pulled the plug on the unit for a day or so and then it worked
normally after that.
