Abstract

A refrigerator appliance includes a door-in-door assembly having a single axis of rotation for the inner and outer doors. The inner and outer doors have separate rotation stops to limit the rotation of the doors from a closed position to an open position. The outer door stop is fixed to the inner door and contacts a first tab that rotates with the outer door. The inner door stop is fixed to the cabinet and contacts a second tab that rotates with the inner door. The outer door rotation angle is less than the inner door rotation angle.
