Abstract
A storage module assembly for a refrigerator door having an outer shell and an inner liner. The liner includes a rear wall and a pair of side walls forming a recess. The side walls have vertically spaced apart, horizontally aligned pairs of module mounting bosses. Each boss includes top and bottom walls joined by side walls which diverge in the downward direction. Each module includes a bottom wall and side walls positionable adjacent the liner side walls. The module side walls include slots with horizontal portions open to the rear and vertical portions at their opposite ends. The vertical portions have downwardly diverging side walls and receive the bosses in a conforming overfitting manner. A module is mounted in the door by sliding the horizontal portions of the slots over the bosses and then moving the module downward to seat the bosses in the vertical portions.
