ABSTRACT:
A gasket retention assembly for uniformally maintaining a gasket against a planar surface. The assembly includes a plate formed from a plurality of wave-shaped sections which define crest portions between adjacent trough portions. The plate is adapted to be secured to the planar surface by means of fasteners at the crest portions with a gasket interposed between the plate and planar surface such that the trough portion are deflected to apply a compressive force against the gasket. The assembly is particularly applicable for use in a refrigerator door arrangement having a gasket fixedly secured between a door panel and a door liner.
