Abstract: A refrigerating appliance includes a refrigerating cabinet that has an outer wrapper. A machine compartment is disposed proximate a rear bottom of the refrigerating cabinet. The machine compartment is defined by selectively removable side panels, an inner curved surface of the outer wrapper, and a bottom support plate. A controller is disposed within the machine compartment. Reinforcement segments extend from a planar extent of the outer wrapper to a lip of the bottom support plate.

Abstract: A refrigerator includes an insulated cabinet having a sidewall with a passthrough opening through the sidewall. A resilient insulating member is disposed in the passthrough opening. The resilient insulating member includes flaps that form an airtight seal between the resilient insulating member and the passthrough opening. At least one utility line extends through an aperture in the resilient insulating member. The utility line may comprise fluid conduit, electrical line, or the like that operably connect one or more components through the sidewall of the cabinet.

Abstract: A drainage assembly for an insulated structure includes a flexible body that has a plurality of flexures and defines an opening and notches that extend radially from the opening. A first drainage tube extends through the opening and includes receiving flanges disposed within the notches defined by the flexible body. A second drainage tube is in fluid communication with the first drainage tube. The second drainage tube includes engagement flanges disposed within the receiving flanges of the first drainage tube.

Abstract: An appliance cabinet includes a wrapper that has sidewalls and define a machine compartment. An attachment feature is coupled to the wrapper proximate the sidewalls. The attachment feature includes horizontal supports and vertical supports that define a lattice structure of the attachment feature, and a selectively removable side access panel is removably coupled to the sidewalls to define at least one access point to the machine compartment.

Abstract: An insulated structure includes a wrapper that defines a first aperture. A liner defines a second aperture and is coupled to the wrapper. A negative pressure is maintained between the wrapper and the liner. A drainage assembly extends between the liner and the wrapper and is disposed within the first aperture and the second aperture. The drainage assembly includes a flexible body that has a plurality of flexures, first and second surfaces, and an opening that is defined between the first and second surfaces. The flexible body has at least one notch that is defined on the first surface that extends from a portion of the opening. A drainage tube extends through the opening that is defined by the flexible body and is operably coupled to the flexible body. The drainage tube includes at least one flange disposed within the at least one notch of the flexible body.

Abstract: An appliance cabinet includes first and second sidewalls. A rear wall is disposed between the first and second sidewalls. A machine compartment is defined by a lower portion of the rear wall. An attachment feature defines openings and is coupled to at least one of the first and second sidewalls. A side access panel is selectively coupled to at least one of the first and second sidewalls via fasteners extending through the openings defined by the attachment feature.
