Abstract
A drawer assembly for an oven appliance is provided. The drawer assembly includes two slide assemblies mounted within a cooking chamber of the oven appliance for supporting a door and a rack assembly. The rack assembly includes a wire support frame for supporting a cooking tray and two support brackets for mounting the wire support frame to the slide assemblies. In this manner, a user may slide the rack assembly and cooking tray out of the cooking chamber by pulling on the door. The wire support frame may be formed from metal using computer numerically controlled machining and may be welded to the support brackets. In this manner, the rack assembly provides a simple, rigid construction that requires a minimal number of parts and is easy to manufacture.
