ABSTRACT:
A method of assembling a refrigerator having an outer metal casing, an inner plastic liner and foamed-in-place thermal insulation between the casing and liner bonding them together including a high stress area in the liner that can cause the liner to crack due to a difference in expansion and contraction relative to the outer metal casing. The method comprises forming the metal casing, vacuum forming the liner from plastic material, placing at least one elongated slot open at one end and closed at the opposite end in the liner located in the high stress area, placing the liner inside the casing in spaced relationship thereto, and foaming the space between the casing and liner to bond them together.
