Abstract: An appliance door assembly includes a front panel spaced apart from a rear panel. A door adjustment assembly is coupled with the rear panel and includes a housing that defines a cavity. A driven member is positioned within the cavity and extends at least partially from the housing. The driven member is movable between a first position and a second position. A driving member is rotatably engaged with the driven member and is configured to rotate the driven member. A bracket is coupled with the door adjustment assembly at a first end and coupled with the rear panel at a second end. The bracket abuts the housing of the door adjustment assembly when the driven member is in the first position and is spaced apart from the housing of the door adjustment assembly when the driven member is in the second position.

Abstract: A refrigerator drawer includes a front wall, a rear wall, first and second opposing sides walls, an adjustable partition wall, and first and second rollers. The front and rear walls define first and second slots, respectively. The first and second opposing sides walls each extend between the front and rear walls such that the front, rear wall, and side walls define an internal storage space. The partition wall is disposed within the storage space. The partition wall has first and second ends extending outward and through the first and second slots, respectively. The first and second rollers are attached to the first and second ends on opposing sides of the front and rear walls, respectively. The first and second rollers are configured to roll along exterior surfaces of the front wall and rear wall, respectively, to adjust distances between the partition wall and the side walls.
