Abstract: Structure for mounting an ice maker in an insulated cabinet having an outer rigid metal shell. The mounting structure includes a support fixedly secured to the shell and defining a mounting portion disposed within a refrigerated chamber of the cabinet. The ice making apparatus is mounted to the support to be disposed within the refrigerated chamber. The shell includes turned flange portions to which the support is removably secured in one embodiment of the invention. The support may be defined by a plurality of rails having securing portions secured to the shell. Connecting portions may be arranged to extend from the securing portions to dispose the mounting portion of the support within the refrigerated chamber.

The support is arranged to mount the components in opposite association within the refrigerated chamber.

Abstract: A door construction for a cabinet such as an ice maker cabinet. The door includes a panel which is reinforced by a framework, with a portion of the door being clamped between a portion of the framework and a support rail. Hinge pins are provided on the cabinet and the door is supported on the pins solely by the rails at opposite sides of the door in the selective positioning of the door in both open and closed positions. The door is adapted for facilitated installation and removal for facilitated servicing of the ice maker. The door manipulating handle is effectively connected to the mounting rails through the clamped door portion.
