1999 CARVER 445 REFRIGERATOR REPLACEMENT

Postby Alastair MacGregor » October 29th, 2025, 10:51 pm

So the 25 year old fridge has died. In order to replace it I'm going to have to remove the main entry door (Hatch). I appears to be pretty straight forward. does anyone have any experience with this? Anything I should be aware of or mistakes to avoid?
Thanks

Hi, we had a 1989 4207, which is similar to you 445 I think. Did you measure the fridge with the doors off? The fridge might make it thru the entry door without the fridge doors.
