Refrigerator appliance subcomponent mounting system

An anchor assembly configured to engage a liner of a refrigerator appliance, the anchor assembly comprising:

• a first portion having (i) a first end, (ii) a second end, and (iii) tabs extending radially outward therefrom, wherein (a) the tabs are configured to engage the liner and (b) the first end is configured to engage a subcomponent to secure the subcomponent to the liner;
• and
• a second portion having (i) a hub and (ii) a skirt extending radially outward from the hub, wherein (a) the hub is configured to engage the second end of the first portion via a threaded connection to secure the second portion to the first portion, (b) the skirt is configured to engage the liner and extend about an orifice defined by the liner, and (c) the tabs and skirt are configured to collectively generate a compression force on the liner to secure the anchor assembly to the liner.

An anchor assembly for securing a subcomponent to a refrigerator comprising:

• a receiving portion having (i) a first end configured to engage the subcomponent, (ii) a second end having threads, and (iii) tabs extending radially outward at a position that is between the first and second ends;
• and
• a cover portion having (i) a hub and (ii) a skirt extending radially outward from the hub, wherein (a) the hub is configured to engage the second end of the receiving portion via the threads to secure the cover portion to the receiving portion, (b) the skirt is configured to engage a wall and extend about a keyed-orifice, and (c) the tabs and skirt are collectively configured to generate a compression force on the wall to secure the anchor assembly to the wall.
