refrigerator door prop

Wow, the OP must think there is a reading comprehension problem on the forum. LOL

He wants to keep the door ajar, i.e. slightly open, but it's parked on an angle and the door comes completely open. So far only one person has offered a possible solution: bungee cord. My vote is to put a chair or stool in front of the door to stop it from coming fully open. A towel put between the doors will keep the freezer door even with the fridge door.

And the OP hasn't returned to answer our question about why they can't be fully open.

We place the towel over the top of the door and close it until snug.

I've got the little plastic things to hold mine ajar.
As to leaving them fully open, at least in my trailer if the fridge door is open and then I put the slide out, I can have the door jammed against the slide. Did it once and it was a PITA to get it unjammed. Had to force the doors off. So now I make sure that blind is raised up to I can check the fridge doors before putting the slide out.

I would be opposed to leave the doors wide open as I read on another forum that someone did that for 3 months over the winter and the doors sagged and would not close tightly. Therefore I don't want even want to attempt it. Don't know the type of RV, fridge model or anything, just that it scared me as not to try this.
Might try the newspaper or charcoal ideas if my newest brainstorm turns out to be a brain fart.
Thanks for all the input.

I made a plastic piece that is inserted between freezer and refer door with Velcro on end that holds both door open 1 inch and prevents doors from opening wider.

My Norcold has a little sliding tab just under the handle on the refrigerator and freezer. I wonder if yours does too. It looks like a pin or button just under the handle that slides out and engages a hole in the door frame. Once slid over the door will stay ajar and not open or close until you slide the tab back.

No got. Our previous RV was set up that way also, but not this one.
Found a tiny strip of metal around both the freezer and the fridge itself. Got some rare earth magnets, 1/4" dia, and some masonite scrapes for both the inside and outside of the doors,and fashioned a prop that should work. No holes, no marks and easily removable and replaceable.
Thanks for all the ideas.

We loop a dish towel over the bottom rack on the freezer door, plenty long enough to keep top & bottom doors open a bit.
