ABSTRACT:
A refrigerator door assembly has an outer door member with a rectangular front panel surrounded by a rearward projecting peripheral rim around its perimeter to form a cavity. A body of insulation foamed-in-place in the cavity includes a rib of predetermined external cross-section that projects rearward along the rim. An inner door member includes a rectangular base panel with a hollow peripheral wall structure projecting rearward around its perimeter. The wall structure has an internal cross-section complimentary to the external cross-section of the rib. When the inner door member is mounted on the outer door member the rib is received within the wall structure.
