Good morning
I am new and I have just bought a 1993 Carver 370 Voyager.
I would like to change the fridges which are double doors side by side.
After several searches on the internet I can't find a manufacturer who offers a fridge in the size of the caver 370. Does anyone have a manufacturer's name or someone in the same situation as me?
:help:

Unless you provide some more information, it's going to be hard for folks to help you. Only folks who know that specific boat would have any idea which fridges would be suitable. Lots and lots of folks have gone through fridge conversions though, so if they had more info they'd be able to weigh in.

If you provided the existing make and model of the fridge that's in there, it would help a lot. Even dimensions would be good, although they'd have to be accurate in order to find the exact replacement(s). Some replacements might require slight modifications to the cabinet (either adding trim or cutting out additional sections) if you go with another vendor's model, but it might be worth it to get the features you desire.

Hopefully someone with a 370 will chime in.....now if I remember right ( more than a bit blurry) they have a low under counter side by side fridge and freezer in the model with the galley up ( at least that was the case in our friends boat ), just don't remember who made it....they all have the Carver doors on them....which ultimately means nothing.

Good morning
First of all thank you for your help. Indeed I did not give all the information the dimensions noted on the spot are 900mm long by 745 in height depth up to 600 max.
I am attaching an identical photo found on the internet.

Difficult to determine by the picture but sure looks like Nova Kool. They are located in British Columbia, Canada. Amazing service and have parts for everything. You can order any part or replace the fridge with the original. They really are some of the best units out there IMHO. https://www.novakool.com/

Carver did use a number of brands. Look in the OEM list if you have the manuals packet that was delivered with the boat. They did use Norcold a lot! Seems like they were the vast majority in mid 90's. 8-) er

If you're looking for the actual make/model of the units you have, there is usually a sticker inside the refrigeration compartment on one of the walls.

Also curious why you want to change them. Is there a problem with them or are you looking for a different type? There is at least one manufacturer that makes a drawer-type style in a similar size and another that made one that will operate in either fridge or freezer mode.

For the moment it still works but it is rusty at the bottom. a perforating rust.

Hello
I was able to identify the fridge, it is a Novakool, and there is only this company which manufactures this format apparently. Thanks for your help. :down:
