Appliance door including a wireless module

An appliance comprising:

• a cabinet defining a compartment for storing food items in a cooled environment;
• and
• a door pivotably attached to the cabinet to provide selective access to the compartment, the door comprising:
• an endcap disposed adjacent a top wall of the cabinet when the door is in a closed position, said endcap having an integrally formed pocket handle recessed from a top wall thereof, said pocket handle being defined by a first pair of opposing side walls, a second pair of opposing side walls, and a bottom wall, wherein said first and second pairs of opposing side walls extend outwards and away from said bottom wall, and wherein said pocket handle is configured to enable a user to pivot the door via engaging a wall of said first pair of opposing side walls or said second pair of opposing side walls;
• and
• a wireless module configured to wirelessly communicate with a mobile device, the wireless module including a printed circuit board and an antenna, the wireless module being received within the pocket handle, and said antenna facing outwards and away from the endcap.

A refrigerator appliance door pivotably attached to a cabinet of a refrigerator appliance to provide selective access to a compartment thereof, the refrigerator appliance door comprising:

• an outer skin extending between first and second distal edges thereof, the outer skin forming an external appearance of the refrigerator appliance door, and the first distal edge of the outer skin being disposed adjacent a top wall of the cabinet when the refrigerator appliance door is in a closed position;
• an inner liner disposed adjacent the outer skin such that a space is formed therebetween;
• a first endcap disposed at the first distal edge of the outer skin, the first endcap being made of plastic and comprising an integrally formed pocket handle recessed from a top wall of the first endcap, wherein the pocket handle is defined by a first pair of opposing side walls, a second pair of opposing side walls, and a bottom wall, wherein said first and second pairs of opposing side walls extend outwards and away from said bottom wall, wherein a plurality of locating pins extend from the bottom wall and each includes a base and a shaft, and wherein the pocket handle is configured to enable a user to pivot the refrigerator appliance door via engaging a wall of the first pair of opposing side walls or the second pair of opposing side walls;
• a second endcap disposed at the second distal edge of the outer skin, the second endcap being made of plastic, and the first and second endcaps collectively enclosing the space formed between the outer skin and the inner liner;
• and
• a wireless module configured to wirelessly communicate with a mobile device, the wireless module comprising a printed circuit board having opposite first and second surfaces, and an antenna disposed on the first surface of the printed circuit board, wherein the wireless module is received within the pocket handle such that the second surface of the printed circuit board rests on corresponding ledges of the respective bases, wherein each shaft extends through a corresponding locating hole formed in the printed circuit board, and wherein the respective shafts of the plurality of locating pins are asymmetrically arranged with respect to one another such that the printed circuit board can only be located in a single location and orientation within the pocket handle.
