Answer:

No

Step-by-step explanation:

No ,it is not possible to have only one reservoir in a refrigerator.As we know that refrigerator take heat from one reservoir and reject heat to another reservoir while consuming some amount of work.One reservoir is called evaporator(absorb heat ) the and other one is called condenser(reject heat).
