ABSTRACT:
A refrigerator/freezer has an external service area with an ice/water dispenser disposed in a freezer door with color coordinated control levers for controlling the dispensing of ice/water. Each of the control levers includes a main shank portion that is pivotal to actuate the ice/water dispenser and a saddle portion that defines the area of the lever to be pressed in order to pivot the lever. The saddle portion has a three piece construction that includes a back-up saddle integrally formed with the main shank of the lever; a color coordinated main saddle mounted on and overlying the back-up saddle; and a resilient cushioning pad mounted on the back-up saddle so as to cushion a glass or the like pressing against the saddle portion of the lever to actuate the ice/water dispenser. The main saddle is larger than the cushioning pad so as to have a peripheral edge thereof exposed when the cushioning pad is mounted thereon, the exposed peripheral edge of the main saddle having a color which delineates the saddle portion of the lever from the main shank of the lever.
