Title: Removing my refrigerator
Post by: tedeboy on August 09, 2018, 12:59:23 pm
I'm wondering how to get this bolt out?
The other one came out easily.
This one just keeps spinning.
I've tried putting upward pressure on the bolt to no avail.

There should be a nut or blind but which should be accessible from the drawer cabinet below the refrigerator inside the coach?

Another question.
It's ready to pull out now.

How heavy is it?
It feels like a two person lift.

It's out!

Now if I can successfully remove the cooling unit I'll order another one.
I plan on replacing the Styrofoam insulation with an upgrade.

As someone who has actually done this - you have now done the hardest part! Cooling unit will be cake compared to what you've done.

One thing that helped me - I kept all the "outside" and "inside" hardware separate. I like to use empty glass jars. Inside is what would be on the back or accessed through outside; inside is what is removed inside the RV.

I did discover an extra screw or two when I did mine that were obviously not needed by the manufacturer as I couldn't find where they belonged :-)

The cooling unit should come with some really nice metal tape which very reliably seals the insulation.

It looks like you already have a Dinosaur board in there? (Green). That's an excellent unit.

Where did you purchase your cooling unit?
I'm considering this...

I am stuck.
All loose accept for the area I have drawn a red rectangle around.
I can't seem to figure out what is holding it.

Okay I got the foam loose in the problem area above.
I'm wondering if these are removable connectors?

I bought from them. My order doesn't say if new or reman so I suspect it may have been a reman. Either way - it worked great.

Beefing up the cavity insulation.

Along with a new cooling unit I've got these on the way also.
