GlennWest Posted April 1, 2023 Report Share Posted April 1, 2023 (edited) Mine died. Found a replacement at Home Depot but it looks doubtful It will fit thru door. Mine is a 26cf unit. Any one else changed with this size? Saw a video about it. Went thru window after it was removed Edited April 2, 2023 by GlennWest Quote 2003 Teton Grand Freedom towed with 2006 Freightliner Century 120 across the beautiful USA welding pipe.https://photos.app.goo.gl/O32ZjgzSzgK7LAyt1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GlennWest Posted April 2, 2023 Author Report Share Posted April 2, 2023 Just discovered I have an emergency exit window in the living room. Check opening size tomorrow.

Pat & Pete Posted April 2, 2023 Report Share Posted April 2, 2023 When we replaced our fridge , I removed the door , including the jam ( frame ) , to get the new unit inside . That gave us about 1/4" on either side clearance . Slow and easy got it done . The side window was the next move that wasn't needed . It's pretty easy to remove the complete window with frame . Just have to be sure to add caulk or replace the seal when putting it back in place . Then there's the height that has to be dealt with . If you have many hands or a fork lift ...

GlennWest Posted April 2, 2023 Author Report Share Posted April 2, 2023 Emergency exit not but 15" opening one way. 42 wide but that 15 not working. So glass will have to come out. Watched some you tube videos and seems fairly easy. Window is 42x48 so plenty opening for fridge. Bad part forcast is rain that day it arrives Quote 2003 Teton Grand Freedom towed with 2006 Freightliner Century 120 across the beautiful USA welding pipe.https://photos.app.goo.gl/O32ZjgzSzgK7LAyt1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darryl&Rita Posted April 2, 2023 Report Share Posted April 2, 2023 Take the door off, both the fridge, and the trailer. Grease the sides of fridge with bacon grease. Hold your tongue just right.

GlennWest Posted April 2, 2023 Author Report Share Posted April 2, 2023 Will pull out from wall and remove doors before pulling window. Measure. Hope you are right but looks doubtful to me.

Pat & Pete Posted April 2, 2023 Report Share Posted April 2, 2023 Our new fridge came a couple days before we were ready for it . We just put it under the big awning and plugged it in to make sure it functioned properly , until I was ready . I learned a long time ago that new doesn't guarantee it will be right , out of the box . It's too big a job to have to do it more than absolutely necessary . Quote Goes around , comes around .

GlennWest Posted April 2, 2023 Author Report Share Posted April 2, 2023 Got doors off and it pulled out from wall. It is only 24" deep without doors. So it will go thru door.

GlennWest Posted April 3, 2023 Author Report Share Posted April 3, 2023 Just a note. Teton had glued beautiful wood to front of our fridge. It seems a shame to throw away but it is on good. But i was surprised at how heavy the doors were due to this wood.

It seems a shame to throw away but it is on good. But i was surprised at how heavy the doors were due to this wood. Too bad the wood is glued on . Our Norcold 4 door had thick oak face wood that was held in place with side channels . I removed the wood . Made the doors half the weight . After the new fridge was in place , there was about 10" of open space on the side . I cut the removed wood and made a couple of vented doors to cover that open space . Turned out pretty decent .

GlennWest Posted April 3, 2023 Author Report Share Posted April 3, 2023 I pulled trim off and it glued good. No a screw in it.

GlennWest Posted April 3, 2023 Author Report Share Posted April 3, 2023 My replacement is near same size. Is a little taller but I have a piece of trim I can remove if needed.

Randyretired Posted April 4, 2023 Report Share Posted April 4, 2023 Our Teton had the RV type refrigerator with a similar wood covering. The wood went with the old refrigerator. Our residential refrigerator is black to match the stove and microwave. Quote Randy 2001 Volvo VNL 42 Cummins ISX Autoshift Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GlennWest Posted April 4, 2023 Author Report Share Posted April 4, 2023 (edited) I got the wood off today. Stored away. Fridge gone to scrapyard now. Wife and I taking today realized the only other item in our home that hasn't been replaced is the dryer. Well fireplace also but it don't work either just not replaced yet. So 20 year mark it.
