Joel,

You know that I am in Carriacou, Grenada and you know the currency is Eastern Caribbean Dollars. There is no EC one dollar bill and I had no US one dollar bill.

I used a $100 EC bill.

I didn't originally want to say that I was adjusting a refrigerator door with hundred dollar bills, but you brought it up.

For those that do not know $2.70 EC = $1.00 USD.

Hey Bill and Eric, my refrigeration guy told me to use a $100 bill as that’s what he will charge me to show up and replace it.

Yes, Eric.

When I was adjusting the door using a dollar bill, I could only get about 80% to seal...I could not get it all.

In fairness, I think the best way to adjust the door is with the refrigerator laying on its back and all 6 hinge screws loose...center the door, then tighten the 6 screws. I have not tried that, but I believe that may solve the issue. If not, when I have it out I'll make note of the model number and see if a magnetic gasket is available.

I will let you and everyone else know here.

Hi Bill,

Please let me know what you find as I also need to replace the seal.

My HVAC guy showed me a trick. When you close something that has a seal. Put a dollar bill, between the seal and the mating surface. If you can pull the bill out easily you have a seal leak.

Derick,

Thanks for that. I know that number designates everything that is a mechanical ir electrical part in the refrigerator. It is the number for the kit consisting of compressor, evaporator, and condenser with cooling fan. It may also be the number for the cabinet...I'll check it out.

Bill,

 

My Frigoboat model number on top of the fan housing says: AV 35 F

 

Are you looking for a different number (e.g. on the compressor)?
