Replacing a fridge (Tiara 40 Express) - August Rush - 10-18-2020

40 express is the specific Model boat but I’m sure the question has come up for other models 

Main fridge measures 24”wide by 24” deep. What’s the magic trick with getting old one out and replacing with new? Door measures 22” wide. Nothing can be removed to make companionway wider. 

Any help is appreciated.

You should be able to remove the door of the fridge and that should shorten the 24" up by at least 2".

Genius!   Never thought of that. Duh.

I live in an old 1950 bungalow in downtown. They didn't make the doors as wide back then. You have to disassemble quite a few things just to get them in.

I have seen this question come up several times. Heck, I brought up the same question for my 42 Open. It was recommended to do everything you can to repair your fridge. So, that’s what I did. Saved a lot of hassle and expense.
