Galley Trambor door (sliding door panel behind galley counter) problem
I am going to be able to fix it, $20.00 a square foot for the Trambor from Flounder Pounder. I need a piece 12 inches by 20 -1/2 inches. I am going to prevent this in the future by mounting a piece of half round section standing upright (maybe a length wise cut piece of 3 or 4 inch PVC pipe), something to prevent this from happening again.
A cracker box which was about 2" x 2" got wedged behind the curved part of the door, and I mean it was wedged in, the box had about a 1/2 inch curved shaped indent on it when I finally got it out.. I believe the box slid back and then something slid into the box repeatedly hammering it behind the door. I would never have been able to pull it out with just a coat hanger.
I would suggest if it happens to someone else, obtain a piece of very heavy curved steel, think of it as a half circle, make a downward bend on one end about 1 -1/2 to 2 inches long, sharpen the end to a point so if you need to pierce a box, Slide a hand mirror into whatever opening you can get and have a flashlight to also shine in behind the door.
And no the door will not slide up out of the track, there are three upper and lower screws which holds the tremor door assembly into place and two additional screws which clamp the right hand side of the track closed.
I eventually was able to get It opened this much, broke one strip off in the process.I am gluing the strips back and I am going to glue a strip of duct tape to the back of the panel, then reverse the panel in the slides. I will drill a new hole for the handle. The repaired section will now be on the left out of site and will slide into the Trambor assembly.
The box became wedged behind the round section and the back wall while the door was closed (Slid all of the way to the right when facing galley counter) was wedged behind this piece in the next photo below The door would not slide at all.
I never knew I had these outlets here, or I had forgotten about them.
