Abstract
A refrigeration appliance includes a vacuum-insulated structure that defines an interior compartment. The vacuum-insulated structure defines a pass-through through the vacuum-insulated structure. The pass-through provides access from an external environment to the interior compartment. An evaporator is disposed within the interior compartment. The evaporator is operable to lower or maintain a temperature of the interior compartment below ambient temperature. A refrigerant line extends through the pass-through and into the interior compartment. A water line extends through the pass-through and into the interior compartment. An insulation block is disposed within the interior compartment and between the evaporator and the water line.
