The element may be formed of a rigid polyurethane foam to provide improved insulation characteristics and provide centering of the cabinet liner during the assembly of the cabinet construction.

Refrigerator cabinet construction

A freezer liner construction having improved selected foam adhesion characteristics. The outer surface of the liner is provided with a laminated release film which prevents adhesion of the foamed-in-place insulation thereto for optimum stress relief relative to thermal expansion and contraction of the liner relative to the foam and cabinet. One or more adhesion strips are provided on the release laminate to provide localized bonding of the foam to the liner for improved structural integrity in the cabinet structure.
