A support member is retained by the door ribs, beneficially using U-shaped fastening members. The support member can include rotation inducing elements that cause the support member to interact with an interior wall to reduce the speed of a can falling through a can receiving space. A stop member prevents cans from falling out of the can receiving space. The stop member can be relieved to reduce the difficulty of removing a can from the can receiving space.
