So does the new fridge stick out seven inches further then the Norcold 1200 LRIM? WOW! I do not think I would want another fridge to stick out that much.
No Ray, it won't. It may be 7" deeper, but it doesn't require the room behind it the Norcold does.
Take a look at the pictures in the link Dennis provided and you'll see.
Also read Ivylogs post again - the bold parts above.
Bruce, what I am comparing is the Fridge from the original poster who states that his four door fridge is 27"deep. I assume he is referring to a Norcold 1200 LRIM.
So if Ivylog installed a fridge that is 34" deep I believe that is seven inches deeper. So you know you can not go further then the wall, so that means it sticks out seven inches. Got it MR Brown?
I was not talking about fitting the fridge in. Width and Height are about the same as the Norcold 1200, but to get those extra inches of storage in the fridge the only way is out towards the inside.
I saw the 27" vs 34" number, but I think you're missing my point.
The Norcold requires X amount of open room behind it, the Whirlpool requires less.
The fridge itself my be 7" deeper, the installation depth makes up the difference.
Take a look at the pictures Dennis posted - the final installation shows them to be darn close. No where near 7" different for sure.
The Whirlpool fridge Ivylog is looking at has a required cabinet depth of 28.5", the same as the Samsung Dennis installed. From what I can find on the Norcold 1200 LRIM it has a cabinet depth requirement of "26" or greater".
Either way, it won't be sticking out anywhere near 7" more. Got it Mr Chez. :W
Norcold:
Samsung:
It should stick out 6" and requires 62" to swing the door fully open (90 degrees). I have a kitchen slide across from it so not a problem when this slide is out. Even with this slide in I will still have the same width as the hallway to the back, BUT will not be able to open the door a full 90 degrees... more like 60+.
One of the best reasons to go with the Samsung is it uses DC compressors so it works well on a MSW inverter. I'm putting mine on a separate 500 AH AGM battery bank with it's own 1000W PSW inverter and a 100A charger. Have the four new batteries mounted in the engine area and wired up. Still need to run a 120V wire to the refer area. Will have to take the driver's side window out to remove/install the units.
