"This would not bother me one bit if I could get to the fridge with the slides in but I can not. When we get home I have to slide all 3 slides out just to turn the fridge back on and this is not acceptable"
OK, then your only recourse is to install, behind the refer (easily accessable) and ON/OFF 12 volt switch to just kill power to the refer. This will not affect the eyebrow on and off inside. OR, on the refer burner tube (hidden by the recall shield is a thermo switch with 2 wires. unhook one of those wires and the power to the refer is dead. reconnect to get power restored. The added switch is the BEST way to do what you need. Doug
