ABSTRACT:
A refrigerator door has a metallic outer panel and a plastic inner panel with rigid insulating foam therebetween. A track support is attached at a predetermined position to the outer panel. A plurality of tracks is supported by the track support between the inner panel and the foam. Each track has a column of apertures. The inner panel has columns of apertures therein with the number of tracks being at least equal to the number of the columns of apertures in the inner panel. A grommet extends through aligned openings at the top of each track, at the top of each column of apertures in the inner panel, and in the track support to attach the inner panel and the tracks to the track support. A grommet also extends through aligned openings at the bottom of each track and at the bottom of each column of apertures in the inner panel to connect the inner panel and the tracks. The attachment of the inner panel by the grommets aligns each aperture in each column in the inner panel with one of the apertures in one of the tracks. A module is arranged in any vertical position on the inner panel through two sets of hooks on its back extending through apertures in two columns in the inner panel and aligned apertures in two of the tracks with the track support supporting the two sets of hooks whereby the module is supported by the outer panel.
