Abstract: An insulated structure includes a door that has a liner and a wrapper. The liner defines at least one channel. At least one attachment member is disposed within the at least one channel defined by the liner and coupled to the door. The at least one attachment member includes a body that has a plurality of apertures that are defined along a length of the body. A bin is operably coupled to the door via the at least one attachment member. The bin includes a coupling feature that extends through at least one of the plurality of apertures that are defined by the body.

Abstract: An insulated structure for an appliance includes a plurality of walls, a cavity defined by the plurality of walls, and an aperture defined by one of the plurality of walls. The aperture is employed in evacuating the cavity to establish a less-than-atmospheric pressure within the cavity. A base structure is coupled to an interior surface of the one of the plurality of walls that defines the aperture. The base structure is aligned with the aperture. A pressure sensor is received by the base structure. The base structure and the pressure sensor together define a pressure-sensing assembly.
