ABSTRACT:
A refrigerator cabinet includes an outer housing having substantially parallel, spaced apart side walls connected by a top wall. A front face extends along the top and side walls and includes a peripheral groove open to the front of the cabinet. The groove has spaced apart, substantially flat lateral walls perpendicular to the front of the cabinet. A first cross-member extends between the side walls below the top wall to divide the cabinet into upper and lower sections. The first cross-member includes an upper groove open to the front of the cabinet and having spaced apart, substantially flat lateral walls perpendicular to the front of the cabinet. The upper groove connects with the peripheral groove at each side of the cabinet to form a first continuous channel encompassing the upper section. The first cross-member also includes a lower groove open to the front of the cabinet and having spaced apart, substantially flat lateral walls perpendicular to the front of the cabinet. The lower groove connects with the peripheral groove at each side of the cabinet. A second cross-member extends between the side walls below the first cross-member and includes a bottom groove connecting with the peripheral groove at each side of the cabinet. The bottom groove includes spaced apart, substantially flat lateral walls perpendicular to the front of the cabinet. The lower groove, bottom groove and connecting portions of the peripheral groove form a second continuous channel encompassing the lower section. A first elongated gasket is positioned in the first channel and includes a base portion removably engaging the lateral walls of the first channel and a seal portion projecting forwardly of the front face. A second elongated gasket is positioned in the second channel and includes a base portion removably engaging the lateral walls of the second channel and a seal portion projecting forwardly of the front face.
