A side-by-side refrigerator includes a cabinet defining fresh food and
freezer compartments, each having upper and lower sections which vary in
width and volume along with corresponding fresh food and freezer doors
that vary in width. The fresh food and freezer compartments are spaced by
an offset mullion assembly against which the doors seal. The offset
mullion assembly includes a first longitudinal member, a second
longitudinal member, a brace having first and second legs and a laterally
extending portion and a cosmetic cover. The offset mullion assembly
provides strength to the cabinet while providing an aesthetically
pleasing and uniform sealing surface for the fresh food and freezer
doors.
