Abstract
A method of assembling a refrigerator cabinet having an outer metal shell with side walls, a plastic inner liner and an insulation partition separating a freezer and fresh food compartment. Mounting brackets each having a preset fastener location are mounted on each side of the outer shell adjacent the partition. The insulation partition is faced with a plastic mullion component having a cutout section at both ends. A flexible metal tension cross member is formed having a preset fastener opening at each end thereof spaced apart a distance such that when the flexible metal tension cross member is utilized to draw the cabinet side walls together and fastened at both ends at the preset fastener openings to the preset fastener locations on the partition mounting brackets the outer shell of the refrigerator cabinet will have the desired correct cabinet width.
