Abstract: A cooling appliance includes a body defining a vacuum-insulated chamber. A cooling device is configured to regulate a temperature in the vacuum-insulated chamber. A partition is adjacent to the vacuum-insulated chamber and a compartment is spaced from the vacuum-insulated chamber by the partition. A compressor and a condenser are located in the compartment and at least one coolant tube is in fluid communication with the compressor, the condenser, and the cooling device. A conduit provides power to and extends between the compressor and the condenser. A shroud bracket is located between the compressor and the condenser and defines at least one slot that retains the at least one coolant tube. A drainage routing tube extends from the cooling device to a drain tube mount and the drain tube mount includes a retention feature connected to a drainage receptacle.

Abstract: A vacuum insulated appliance includes a cabinet with a wrapper, a liner, and a vacuum insulated cavity defined between the wrapper and the liner. A pair of tap plate assemblies are coupled to the wrapper. The pair of tap plate assemblies each include a base, a tap plate with a first section slidably coupled to the base, and a second section perpendicular to the first section, where the second section is coupled to external cabinetry. Fasteners protrude outward from side panels of the wrapper. A pair of side trim pieces are coupled to the side panels. Each side trim piece defines trim apertures that permit extension of the fasteners through the trim apertures. The fasteners engage with the pair of side trim pieces, coupling the pair of side trim pieces to the side panels.
