A refrigerator cabinet is disclosed comprising a metallic cabinet case having a door opening in the front, a metallic cabinet liner mounted on the inside and thermal insulation separating the cabinet case and liner. A door is hingedly connected to the front of the cabinet case and adapted to swing over the door opening. A plastic cabinet thermal breaker is mounted between the metallic cabinet case and the metallic cabinet liner and frames the opening. A removable metallic breaker cap snaps on and covers the outside of the plastic cabinet thermal breaker except for a front facing portion of the plastic thermal breaker. A plastic door thermal breaker is mounted along the outer edge of the inside of the door and has an outwardly extending compressible portion which is adapted to press against the front portion of the plastic cabinet thermal breaker when the door is closed. The plastic door thermal breaker has a plastic encased magnet adapted to magnetically close the door when in magnetic attraction range of the front of the metallic cabinet case and an angularly extending wiper in contact with the inside of the door. A recessed door handle is along substantially the entire length of the side of the door opposite the hinged side.
