Trim breaker interface for reducing air infiltration in a vacuum insulated appliance

A method of manufacturing a vacuum insulated appliance, comprising:

• providing a cabinet defining an insulation cavity and forming at least one compartment, the cabinet including a trim breaker assembly that extends along a perimeter of the at least one compartment;
• drawing an at least partial vacuum within the insulation cavity;
• applying at least one foam gasket via a foam nozzle to at least one surface of the trim breaker assembly along at least a portion of the perimeter of the at least one compartment, wherein the at least one foam gasket is dispensed in an uncured state;
• and
• coupling at least one engagement member with the trim breaker assembly to compress the at least one foam gasket therebetween and define a seal to reduce air infiltration between the at least one engagement member and the trim breaker assembly into the at least one compartment.

A method of manufacturing a vacuum insulated cabinet, comprising:

• providing said vacuum insulated cabinet defining an insulating cavity and forming at least one compartment, said vacuum insulated cabinet including a trim breaker assembly that extends along a perimeter of the at least one compartment;
• drawing an at least partial vacuum within the insulating cavity;
• applying a first foam gasket to an outer surface of the trim breaker assembly along at least a portion of the perimeter of the at least one compartment;
• applying a second foam gasket to an inner surface of the trim breaker assembly along at least a portion of the perimeter of the at least one compartment;
• coupling a cover with the trim breaker assembly to compress the first foam gasket between the cover and the outer surface, wherein the cover and the trim breaker assembly define a first seal to reduce air infiltration between the cover and the trim breaker assembly into the at least one compartment;
• and
• coupling a light assembly with the trim breaker assembly to compress the second foam gasket between the light assembly and the inner surface, wherein the light assembly and the trim breaker assembly define a second seal to reduce air infiltration between the cover and the trim breaker assembly into the at least one compartment.
