  • 13.9 cu residential fridge install

    Click image for larger version  Name:	Studio_20221026_171330.jpg Views:	0 Size:	42.9 KB ID:	98249

    Old fridge taken away and new Frigidaire 13.9 cu in its place. I still have to tweek the install...thinking of actually raising it a couple more inches and I have to put moulding around it.

    I used green board on top and sides and reflectix across back and around outside side wall. Here are some pics.

    the doors stick out which I knew, but forgot about the front wheels. My temp fix will be cutting a 4x4 and making 2 columns for the feet to sit on for now.

    I added eye hooks on both sides of the floor next to the fridge and am using a long ratchet strap. Will also make bracing for the top so it won't shift forward....and some screws in the rear...

    After much thought and having leftover 1" rigid foam board from my ac quiet fix....

    I wedged 2 pieces the width of opening but cut a little bigger for tightness.

    and layer them on to of each other for the front to back movement. 99 percent better. Will get another 2x2x1 sheet to do back corner instead of the middle only.

        Upate. Was able to raise shelf. I put 2x4s front to back where wheels go and 1/2" plywood on top. The original shelf was pretty flimsy by itself. Gap is now around 2.5" all the way around.
        Wife loves the height. Now looking to trim it out. Paint? Stain to match existing? Was originally thinking of painting a light color but not sure yet.

          Nice job on the install. What did you do to seal off the vents? Did you cap the gas line both on both ends or just inside the cabinet?

          For the front try a piece of Maple with Cherry stain on it to see if you can get it to match. Might also have to try Alder with Cherry stain. I might be inclined to find a sheet metal guy and have him make me a stainless front for the shelf, but that's just my strange sense of things.

            Used reflectix and cut a slit to access the back for now. I put some foam in the new gap I mad by raising the shelf. I finished that by adding another piece of reflectix.

            I should get pics from the back I guess.

            I capped the gas line. The connector is still in the back for the oven and stove.

            thanks for the info on stains. I still have my door inserts from the Dometic to take to match stain.

            thanks.

              You might be able to cut the long sides of the door panels to make the trim across the bottom. Then you just need to paint the right end dark brown or black so it does not stand out.

                Just finished the trimming. Turned out pretty good, I believe. Click image for larger version

                    Working great. I have an auto transfer switch installed as well. Nice to be done a project.
