A metering device on a refrigerator is usually a capillary(cap)tube. It is a very small copper line located somewhere between the condenser coils (outside-hot) and the evaporator coils (cooling coils). It reduces the pressure of the refrigerant coming from outside as it enters the evap coils inside. Refrigerant cools under low pressure thus cooling desired inside area when air is blown across the cold coils. Think of a kinked garden hose and how on the spicket side of the hose the pressure is great, but on the other side the pressure is decreased. That is basically the purpose of a metering device.
