The Subzero refrigerator which was original on the 2006 52 Sedan Bridge finally gave up leaving only the freezer next to it operational. Fix it or replace it? There always have been challenges storing food and beverages in the two Subzero units; they were simply difficult to load up due to the box configuration inside. This isn't a complaint but for long cruising trips they had some shortfalls. So comes time to make a decision repair or replace as a hole developed in the evaporator and the refrigerant escaped. Parts for the repair were backordered with an indeterminant availability. I replaced the Norcold refrigerator on my 400DA Sundancer with a Vitrifrigo and really liked the Vitrifrigo's quality and performance. So in looking at the Vitrifrigo products I noticed a great innovation where their drawer units can be individually configured as refrigeration and/or freezer units (refrigerator/freezer, refrigerator/refrigerator, or freezer/freezer). So, I ordered two of the drawer units after verifying, I thought, all of the dimensions to confirm the Vitrifrigo will fit where the Subzero are. Not quite. I had confirmed that the width in the existing opening needed to be enlarged 1/8-inch on each side but failed to accomodate for the 1-inch flange on the trim where in fact there was only 1/2-inch on the cabinet edges available for the flange to fit over. Evidenced in the second photobelow. Of course I already have the Vitrifrigo units; ordered in January and received three days ago.
Well, what to do now?
