A mounting socket is installed within a refrigerator which has a thin inner liner wall and an outer cabinet with an insulation space therebetween. The socket is capable of receiving a horizontally extending mounting bracket associated with an internal shelf. The socket has a body with an opened first end, a closed second end and an intermediate section. The intermediate section of the body is positioned within a hole in the inner liner with its second end located within the insulation space. The body has a cavity which is capable of receiving the horizontally extending mounting bracket. The socket has a lip which radially extends from the first end for sealed engagement with a first side of the wall. The socket also includes a plurality of locating dimples which extend radially from the intermediate portion of the body to overlie the other side of the wall to prevent the socket from being withdrawn from the hole.
