Abstract: A standoff feature for an appliance includes a connecting member having a first end and a second end. A first side member extends in a first direction from the first end of the connecting member. A second side member is spaced from the first side member. The second side member extends in the first direction from the second end of the connecting member. A first flange extends from a first side edge of the connecting member. The first side edge extends between the first end and the second end. The first flange extends in a second direction from the connecting member. A second flange extends from a second side edge of the connecting member. The second side edge extends between the first end and the second end and opposes the first side edge. The second flange extends in the second direction from the connecting member.

Abstract: A refrigeration unit includes a storage compartment, an evaporator compartment, an evaporator disposed within the evaporator compartment, a drain pan beneath the evaporator and having first and second sloped surfaces, and a panel between the storage and evaporator compartments that defines an opening. The storage compartment is in fluid communication with the evaporator compartment via the opening. The refrigeration unit also includes an evaporator fan that delivers air from the evaporator compartment to the storage compartment via the opening, and an evaporator fan grille coupled to the panel and extending outward therefrom into the storage compartment. The evaporator fan grille includes a body that extends over the opening and that is in a spaced-relationship with the panel, and at least one spacer feature extending from the panel to the body.

Abstract: A refrigeration unit includes a cabinet and a first evaporator assembly. The first evaporator assembly is operable between an uninstalled condition and an installed condition. In the uninstalled condition, the first evaporator assembly is not assembled with the cabinet. In the installed condition, the first evaporator assembly is assembled with the cabinet. The first evaporator assembly includes a first evaporator, a first suction line connected to the first evaporator at a first suction line joint, and a first capillary tube connected to the first evaporator at a first capillary tube joint. The first suction line joint and the first capillary tube joint of the first evaporator assembly are leak testable in the uninstalled condition of the first evaporator assembly.
