Abstract
A support assembly for a vacuum insulated structure includes a base plate that has a perimeter support surface and centrally defines an aperture. The base plate includes fasteners that extend outwardly from the base plate. Base rails each include a support body that has a first attachment flange, a second attachment flange, and a mounting wall that is operably coupled to the support body. The first attachment flange and the second attachment flange operably couple each of the base rails to the base plate. A front plate is operably coupled to the mounting wall of each of the base rails. A machine plate is operably coupled to each of the first attachment flange and the second attachment flange of each of the base rails proximate to the base plate.
