Abstract
A refrigerator cabinet having a one-piece plastic liner wherein the liner is divided by a vertically extending partition into side-by-side compartments with the front face of the partition defining a center vertical mullion provided with a condensation preventing condenser hot gas tube reverse mullion loop, integral with the hot gas tube outer loop installed into the cabinet shell peripheral flange, with the mullion loop extending upwardly from integral torsional portions adjacent the refrigerator shell bottom wall. During manufacture of the refrigerator the one-piece liner is installed by rotating the mullion loop approximately 90.degree. out of the plane of the cabinet shell front access opening by twisting the condenser tube about the torsional portions thereby clearing the access opening for insertion of the one-piece liner. After placing the liner into the cabinet shell the loop is returned to the plane of the front access opening for retention in the mullion.
