Modular food preservation system

摘要

A refrigerator includes a cabinet (22) defining an open storage space (24) and including a door (26) having an interior side (28) adapted to receive a modular component (30). The modular component has a base (32) removably connected to the interior side of the door. A component door (38) is hingedly-connected to the base and includes a viewing area (40). The component door (38) is operable between an open position and a closed position and the base and the component door define a sealed compartment when the component door is in the closed position. An air hose (48) extends from the modular component. The air hose has a proximal end and a distal end. A fastener system (53) is disposed on one of the component door and the base. The fastener system is adapted to engage with the first fasteners to create a seal between the component door and the base. A heat sealer (58) is disposed on one of the base and the component door.
