Abstract: A refrigerator includes a cabinet defining a chilled chamber, an enclosure housing positioned within the chilled chamber, the enclosure housing defining an enclosure and a docking port configured for receiving a water filter, and a door assembly for providing selective access to the enclosure. The door assembly includes an access door pivotally mounted to the enclosure housing, a guide pin mounted to the enclosure housing, a guide bar having a first end and a second end opposite the first end, the first end being pivotally mounted to the access door and the second end defining a slot having the guide pin slidably received therein, a friction washer mounted on the guide pin adjacent the guide bar; and a spring member mounted on the guide pin and being configured for urging the friction washer against the guide bar to resist motion of the access door.

Abstract: An arrangement is provided for returning a removed hinge plate to a predetermined position on a refrigerator cabinet after the hinge plate has been removed. A screw plate is loosely movably positioned on an inside side of an outer wrapper of the refrigerator cabinet in a location approximating the location for the top hinge plate. The hinge plate is positioned on an outer surface of the outer wrapper and is removably secured to the screw plate. The hinge plate includes a recess area. A pilot plate is positioned on the outer surface of the outer wrapper, secured to the screw plate and being closely received in the recess area in the hinge plate. The pilot plate remains in position relative to the screw plate and the wrapper when the hinge plate is removed from the screw plate.
