Abstract

A door module assembly for a refrigerator door of a refrigerator appliance may generally include a mounting bracket configured to be removably coupled to the refrigerator door to allow the mounting bracket to be moveable between a plurality of mounting locations defined along a height of the refrigerator door. The door module assembly may also include a door tray movable relative to the mounting bracket and at least one translation device configured in operative association with adjacent walls of the door tray and the mounting bracket. The translation device may be configured such that the door tray is movable relative to the mounting bracket in a horizontal direction between a retracted position and an extended position. Moreover, an open tray volume defined by the door tray may be accessible when the door tray is in both the retracted position and the extended position.
