Abstract

See full text

A soft serve dispensing machine includes a refrigerator cabinet. A door is hinged to the refrigerator cabinet. A freezer compartment is defined in the refrigerator cabinet and receives a soft serve product mix. Product pumps are linked with the soft serve product mix for moving the product to a dispensing portion of the soft serve dispensing machine. The product pumps are positioned proximate the front portion of the refrigerator cabinet and above the freezer compartment. A removable inner door panel is moveable between stored and deployed positions. In the deployed position, the door is in an open position and the inner door panel is attached to the refrigerator cabinet and defines a seal relative to the refrigerator cabinet and cold air within the freezer compartment is maintained in the freezer compartment while the product pumps are accessed.
