Door vent sealing assembly

An appliance door, comprising:

• a panel defining an inlet and an outlet adjacent to the inlet;
• an icemaker compartment fluidly coupled to the inlet via an air duct and fluidly coupled to the outlet via a return duct;
• at least one retainer disposed adjacent to at least one of the inlet and the outlet, wherein the at least one retainer includes an insertion wall extending through the panel and a rim extending over the panel and defining ribs, wherein the insertion wall includes first and second lateral wall portions, and wherein the first lateral wall portion includes a first pair of notches and the second lateral wall portion includes a second pair of notches, and wherein the first pair of notches and the second pair of notches permit deformation of sections of the first and second lateral wall portions towards one another;
• and
• at least one gasket coupled to the at least one retainer with a U-shaped coupling portion extending over an outer edge of the rim, wherein the at least one gasket is configured to compress toward the at least one retainer, and wherein the ribs maintain a space within the at least one gasket to prevent a vacuum suction effect.

A door vent sealing assembly for an appliance door, comprising:

• a duct;
• a retainer including:
• an insertion wall at least partially defining an aperture, wherein the insertion wall defines deformable coupling features on opposing sides of the retainer, and wherein the deformable coupling features each define a plurality of teeth extending between a pair of notches, the pluralities of teeth being configured to interlock with an edge of the duct;
• and
• a rim coupled to the insertion wall, wherein the rim extends perpendicular to the insertion wall and outward from the aperture;
• and
• a gasket having a coupling portion for receiving the rim to couple the gasket to the retainer and a sealing member spaced from and extending over the rim.
