发明名称 Method of assembling an anti-sweat heater in a refrigerator cabinet
摘要 There is provided a method of assembling an anti-sweat heater in a refrigerator cabinet that includes forming the outer case of the cabinet with a sidewall and front face having a right angle corner therebetween and a flange spaced from the corner and inwardly turned from the front face with a depending lip extending towards and spaced from the cabinet sidewall. A heater retainer member is formed and has a portion thereof in cross section view with a front end shaped to receive the heater, a straight center section and two flexible wings, one on each side of the center section and diverging from the center section away from the front end, and also a rear end. The anti-sweat heater is placed in the front end of the retainer member and the heater and front end and center section including the wings of the retainer member are inserted through the space between the depending lip of the flange and the cabinet sidewall. The heater is held in the corner with the front end of the retainer member and a wing of the retainer member is positioned under and in contact with the depending lip of the flange, thereby exerting force against the heater to retain it in the corner. In this manner, the anti-sweat heater is retained in the corner which is its proper position for effective prevention of condensate on the cabinet and is maintained in the corner during subsequent placement of insulating material in the cabinet.
