Topic: Tip for the Fridge Posted: 09 Dec 2009 at 8:40pm |
My fridge has a 'pull-out' latch to hold the doors slightly open on both doors. Use a light to look at
the outer edge of the open door...you should be able to see the latches. They not only hold the doors slightly ajar but also hold the doors from swinging further open if you don't try to open the doors as usual. I like this feature because in my RV I have to use the 'ice tray jam' method and if I am puttering around in the RV, I always seem to bump the doors wide open. |

Thanks for the Welcome Doug, I don't think you have to worry with the freezer either cause it's not airtight. The Little latch is right in the middle of the main latch on the inside wall of
the fridge, its just a little piece that sticks out some and you just slide it forward and when
you shut the door it latches to this piece and stays put slightly open. Welcome ALL.

Our 172 has the latch too. A bugger to slide out, but it does work. Nothing for the freezer tho. and in our last frig we did the ice tray trick too.

Gator where is latch? Mine is stored open and waiting for 4-8 inches to finish and wind to quit blowing then will have wife check it out cause i cannot walk in that much snow. Do not forget to put a box of baking sodfa in the fridge then use in drains in spring.

Welcome Gator, I'll have to look for that latch, I don't remember seeing it. The freezer compartment isn't really sealed well, I wouldn't worry about it. You could just pull it out.

Another tip for that ice tray is to use it under the wire rack. It fits. I also purchased some small trays from Campers World that fit underneath the rack. If we're on a long trip, I totally fill up the freezer with meat, so it's nice to use the space under the rack for ice cubes - even if they are small.

My 177 has a pull out latch that locks the door open. It stays open about 3/4 of an inch.

It works great. Put that little ice tray where the freezer door hinges and NOTHING closes. Just don't forget to remove it and close the door when moving.

Yup, it'll be musty city by spring. Worse still if you leave it closed for a month between trips while it bakes in the humid summer sun.
In my popup we kept a sponge between the seal and the door frame - but the flip-down kitchen kept the door "closed". Not really an option here.
