The first dairy compartment member is movably connected to an inner wall portion of the door and the second dairy compartment member is slidably attached to the first dairy compartment member. In accordance with a first embodiment of the invention, the first dairy compartment member is constituted by a dairy compartment cover that is pivotally connected to a pair of spaced dike portions formed integral with a liner of the door. In a second embodiment, the first dairy compartment member constitutes a dairy compartment defining shelf member or bucket that is selectively, removably attached to the dike portions. In each of the first and second embodiments, the second dairy compartment member constitutes an element which is slidably attached to the first dairy compartment member and divides the dairy compartment into varying volume storage zones.
