Bill, I know you've seen this but for others: My DW did not want to loose the large drawer under our NoCold 1200. Finally found what I hoped would be a perfect fit... came within 1/2" height of fitting. Cut the 3/4" floor out and put in side rails to hold the refer. Here is my DIY install. It's a Whirlpool 21 cuft and I had to take the driver's side window out to get it in as it is not a counter depth unit. If the DW is not fairly tall, getting to things in the back of the freezer could be a problem.
Amazing how energy efficient these energy star refers are... 96 watts when running less than half the time. I power it and my sat receiver/TV off of a 1000W PSW inverter. Two batteries will run it 30 hours if I turn the ice maker off. The Samsung run OK on a MSW because they have DC compressors.
With the kitchen slide in the door on the refrigerator section will not open all the way... the freezer will. It does stick out 3" further than the 1200. I left the roof vent open and closed off most of the bottom outside vent.
