Abstract
A refrigerator door includes an insulated door panel, a first hinge, and a second hinge used to mount the refrigerator door to a refrigerator body. The door panel includes a refrigerator section, a freezer section, a gasket channel, and a gasket. The freezer section is mounted below the refrigerator section to cover a freezer compartment when the refrigerator door is closed. The gasket channel is formed in the insulated door panel surrounding only the refrigerator section. The gasket is mounted in the gasket channel to seal the refrigerator compartment when the refrigerator door is closed. The first hinge is attached to a top surface of the insulated door panel above the refrigerator section. The second hinge is attached to a bottom surface of the insulated door panel below the freezer section. The freezer section is not surrounded by any gasket mounted to the insulated door panel.
