I think I have got it figured out though, I took the door off the fridge and its still about an inch to wide, it looks like I can take the door frame off the cabin and gain about 2 inches, gonna try that tomorrow.
All good....sounds like that will work.

Nice & easy with the teak... :wink:

Come to think of it, after I took off the fridge door, I did have to take the door frame off to have enought room to remove the fridge from the cabin! I'm real sorry I forgot about that. :oops:

Thanks all for the input. old fridge cut in half and removed, new fridge installed and no trim got messed up, just have to add some trim around the new fridge to make it look like it belongs there.

Just like what many people said. Try to taking out the fridge door. I know and I believe that it is the best solution for your problem. I once experienced and tried and it works properly.
