ABSTRACT:
A refrigerator includes an external wrapper defining a refrigerated compartment. The external wrapper overlies a support frame, and at least one door is movable about a hinge point to obtain access to the refrigerated compartment. The door is supported by a molded plastic hinge which is integrally formed to include a hinge pin, cam and door stop. The molded plastic hinge is formed so as to eliminate the need for shims, wherein a relieved area on that portion of the hinge plate overlying the external wrapper compensates for the width of the sheet material forming the external wrapper.
