Pull-out access cooler unit

A pull-out access wine cooler unit, comprising:

• a cabinet defining an interior chamber;
• a refrigeration system including an evaporator mounted within the interior chamber, a compressor receiving return refrigerant from the evaporator and a condenser coupled to the compressor and to the evaporator through a restriction;
• and
• a pull-out assembly including a door panel for closing a door opening in the cabinet in communication with the interior chamber and including a rack mounted in the interior chamber so as to be movable by movement of the door panel to an extended position in which at least a portion of the rack extends through the door opening, wherein the pull-out assembly includes a storage compartment having an access opening at a lateral side of the pull-out assembly and a wine caddy removably stowed in the storage compartment.
