Abstract: A refrigeration unit includes a cabinet, a door, and a door support feature positioned proximate to the lower side of the door. The door support feature is movable relative to the cabinet between a first position, wherein the door support feature supports the lower side of the door in the closed position of the door, and a second position, wherein the door support feature is in a spaced-relationship with the lower side of the door in the closed position of the door. The refrigeration unit further includes a toe kick panel operable between an assembled condition and a removed condition. In the assembled condition, the toe kick panel is assembled with the cabinet below the door, such that the toe kick panel conceals the door support feature. In the removed condition, the toe kick panel is removed from the cabinet, such that the door support feature is revealed.

Abstract: A vacuum insulated panel includes an outer panel and an inner panel operably coupled to one another to define a vacuum cavity therebetween. The inner panel includes a body portion having inner and outer surfaces and first and second slots disposed through the body portion that are spaced-apart from one another. A first bracket assembly is operably coupled to the inner surface of the inner panel and covers the first slot of the inner panel. A second bracket assembly is operably coupled to the inner surface of the inner panel and covers the second slot of the inner panel. The Frist and second bracket assemblies are coupled to the inner panel in a sealed manner so as to maintain a vacuum drawn in the vacuum cavity.
