I believe the answer is:

refrigerator

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'cooler' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

I don't understand the rest of the clue.

(Other definitions for refrigerator that I've seen before include "Cooler" , "Chilling appliance" , "Kitchen appliance" , "Icebox" , "Means of storing food" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Independent.
