Fridge Removal and Repair in Progress

[truk4u]

Joe - No OTR.. The fridge is on order, they don't seem to stock the Cabinet Depth. I have to cut an additional 2 1/2 inches of height above where the fridge sits, the old Amana's are about 2 inches in height lower than the new models.

The old Amana had panels with laminate matching the interior of the bus. The new fridges are a different size, so there was no use getting a fridge panel ready. The new one is just plain white, so I'll have to somehow use the old panels and align them so they look OK and then glue to the front of the fridge. Then I'll have to have some type of trim around them, since the panels are made of 1/8 masonite with the laminate stuck to them. I tried to find matching laminate, but no good, Liberty says it's long gone.

Jim - I bought the forks many years ago for 75.00 and they have paid for themselves many times over. They are universal and will fit any bucket. I'll snap another picture for you without the Amana slug so you can see how they hook to the bucket.

Take a panel from the bus to Home Depo and they will computer match the color PERFECT then just paint the doors. Experiment on the side of the old one for results.

Tom, The laminate used on the computer desk is currently available. If you look closely, it isn't exactly like the original but we sure as heck couldn't tell the difference. The pattern is Wilson Art, Caldera Rose-Gloss.

Tom,

What about replacing the panels with mirrors. I know Libertys use mirrors sparingly but it might be an easy fix. Are mirrors made in 1/8" thickness? Or maybe brushed aluminum panels!

Liberty uses mirrors sparingly?

I thought that whole casino / whorehouse chic motif that Liberty used was based mostly on mirrors?

Tuga, I think you need to get out more.

Check out the Jenn air website, I think that they are about as small as you can get. But not cheap.

You're right, Rick.

Truk needs to start with "I don't care what it costs, I need a ....."

Jerry,

I was being facetious!

Joe - It has a pattern/design to it and not just plain.

Brian - Thanks, but that one is discontinued also.

Tuga - No mirrors, can't compete with the King.

Rick - I have Jenn Air at home, but found a Frigidaire that was just right.

Paul - No local government pension here, got to shop.

Hi Tom. If your refer doors are flat, on my fridge, they painted the edgesof the refer a copper color to match the cabinets, and glued on skins with a trim edging on the flat area. Its faux painted, not a natural wood look.
