I made a door latch for the fridge. I need to get some stainless screws to complete it.

Craneman, You asked if the draws would come out and at the time I thought they wouldn't. I was pulling the shipping tape off
the draws and tried to get the draws out and found if I twist them they will come out.

Mine don't come out but my fridge is 22.8. They do pull out to reach the back but I would have to remove the freezer door if repair was needed.

I have been waiting for the latch which got lost in the mail for the pantry. The latch turned out that I had to put a 3/4 piece of
walnut to make it work. So this is it finished.

I now have been using the recirculating hot water system I put in and it's awsome. No more wasted water waiting for hot water.
Thank you Roger for such a great idea.

Well after 4 years of enjoying the recirculating water I had been thinking that the hot water should
be coming faster for the shower. I knew it would be a little bit slow as for the length of the hose from
the valve to the shower head. Checking it out I wasn't getting hot water to the valve just to the tee in the
recurc line. After a lot of checking everything out I finally realized that I hadn't turn the valve back on from
the water distributing thing. So we were getting hot water quicker than before we weren't getting it
as quickly as we should. The hot water for the shower was back feeding through the recurc line from the
sink. It is now working better.

What did you come up with to block your side vent door on your fridge? Same issue, I just can find insulation that will fit in it so I am considering replacing the whole door

I bought a Challenger vent.  Topic: Fridge vent (Read 455 times) If you type in Fridge vent in search
it will come up and the size and everything you need is there to get a new vent door. I took a picture
how I insulated it.

I left the outside louvered door behind the fridge in place. In the summer I cover the inside of the door with screening to keep bugs out. In the Fall,Spring, and Winter I put a piece of insulation in to cover the doors vents.
I like the door because it helps cool and ventilate the fridge ( Bosch side by side) and it gives me easy access to the back of the fridge to drain or flush water lines for the ice maker and water dispenser.
Anything to ease the access to something is golden in my book.

Another thing I like about the door is it gives wider access to the back of the fridge.
