A refrigerator door bottom storage module assembly extending across the refrigerator door. The refrigerator door has an inner liner havin g side walls, a bottom wall and a rear wall defining a liner recess. The bottom wall has a forward lower landing and a stepped raised landing extending into the liner recess rearwardly of the forward lower landing. Aligned module supporting bosses project inwardly of each of said side walls. A door storage module has a pair of spaced apart module side walls positionable adjacent the liner side walls. The module has a front wall extending between said module side walls and a supporting floor extending rearwardly of the front wall. The module side walls have a pair of spaced apart ribs vertically projecting to define an open recess. The module is assembled to the door by sliding the module ribs over the bosses until the supporting floor of the module is seated upon the forward lower landing of the bottom wall of the inner liner. Consequently, any articles supported by the bottom support module are seated upon the supporting floor of the module which at least partially rests on the forward lower landing of the bottom wall of the door inner liner. The amount of vertical loading on the liner side walls is significantly less than the loading onto the bottom wall of the door inner liner.
