Abstract

A hinge assembly for a door-in-door refrigerator appliance door includes a case-side plate having a first aperture at the first end and a first radial slot extending from a periphery of the first aperture to an edge of the plate. A pivot pin having a central passage and a radial slot from the central passage to an edge of the plate is aligned with the first aperture. The hinge assembly also has a door-side plate having a second aperture at the first end and a third radial slot extending from a periphery of the second aperture to an edge of the plate. The second aperture receives the pivot pin for rotation, wherein the first radial slot and the third radial slot are rotationally offset when the case-side plate transverse axis and the door-side plate transverse axis are parallel.
