Abstract

An inner liner is installed in an outer shell. A breaker panel assembly has four panels and four corners that form a rectangle. The assembly closes an insulation space around the front door opening between the liner and shell. Retainers on the panels engage the liner and shell. Retainers on the corners engage the panels an permit slight movements of the panels. Foam insulation is injected in the insulation space. The breaker assembly complements the inner door contour to minimize the air gap and exposed surface of the door gasket.
