  • Publication number: 20160209102
    Abstract: A refrigerator appliance including a cabinet defining a chilled chamber and a first slide assembly is provided. The first slide assembly is mounted to the cabinet at least partially within the chilled chamber. The refrigerator appliance also includes a door with a frame having a first frame member rotatably attached to the first slide assembly at a first pivot joint. The door is rotatable about the lateral direction at the first pivot joint between an inwardly tilted position and an outwardly tilted position. In the inwardly tilted position the door defines an acute angle with the first slide assembly, and in the outwardly tilted position the door defines an obtuse angle with the first slide assembly. Such a configuration may allow the door to form a more complete seal with the cabinet of the refrigerator appliance despite any, e.g., surface variations of the cabinet.
