REFRIGERATOR WITH MAGNETIC BIN SYSTEM

Abstract:

A refrigerator includes a housing defining an interior compartment with an open side and a door rotatably coupled with the housing and selectively closing at least a portion of the open side. The door includes an interior liner defining an attachment surface and at least one first magnetic component adjacent the attachment surface. The refrigerator further includes a storage component defining a mounting surface having an area smaller than the attachment surface. The storage component includes a second magnetic component adjacent the mounting surface and removably retaining the mounting surface of the storage component to the attachment surface of the door by mutual attraction between the at least one first magnetic component and the second magnetic component.
