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.

Abstract: A refrigeration appliance includes a vacuum-insulated structure that defines an interior compartment. The vacuum-insulated structure defines a pass-through through the vacuum-insulated structure. The pass-through provides access from an external environment to the interior compartment. An evaporator is disposed within the interior compartment. The evaporator is operable to lower or maintain a temperature of the interior compartment below ambient temperature. A refrigerant line extends through the pass-through and into the interior compartment. A water line extends through the pass-through and into the interior compartment. An insulation block is disposed within the interior compartment and between the evaporator and the water line.

Abstract: A vacuum insulated appliance includes a cabinet with a wrapper and a liner encompassed by the wrapper. A wire on tube condenser is disposed at a rear portion of the cabinet. A plurality of engagement plates is coupled to the wire on tube condenser. Each engagement plate of the plurality of engagement plates includes a slotted feature defined on an end of the engagement plate. The end of each engagement plate extends beyond an outer edge of one of a first side section and a second side section, respectively, of the wire on tube condenser. A plurality of hangers protrudes outward from the rear portion of the cabinet. Each hanger of the plurality of hangers engages with the slotted feature to couple the wire on tube condenser to the cabinet.

Abstract: A refrigeration unit includes a cabinet with a refrigerator compartment, a freezer compartment, and a machine compartment. The cabinet includes a mullion region between the refrigerator compartment and the freezer compartment, a first pass-through therethrough providing access from an external environment to the refrigerator compartment, and a second pass-through therethrough providing access from the external environment to the freezer compartment. The cabinet further includes a third pass-through extending through the mullion region, and a refrigerant system. The refrigerant system includes a three-way valve configured to direct a refrigerant down a first flow path or a second flow path, the refrigerant in the first flow path flows through the first pass-through, a first evaporator, the third pass-through, and the second evaporator, and the refrigerant in the second flow path flows through the second pass-through and the second evaporator.
