Abstract
A refrigerator includes a refrigerated compartment and a drawer having a drawer slide, a door and a quick release mechanism. The drawer slide allows the drawer to slide into and out of the refrigerated compartment, and the door selectively seals the refrigerated compartment. The quick release mechanism removably couples the door to the drawer slide. The quick release mechanism includes a latch and a keeper. The latch is pivotally coupled to one of the door and the drawer slide, and the keeper has a slot for receiving the latch.
