I'll be trying this in the next week or so and I'll let you know how it turns out. Hopefully, if everything works, somebody else may find this info. useful. If not, I guess the same applies.:rolleyes: OK, You'll do fine. We'll keep an eye out for your update. Thanks, :cool: :cool: :cool:

Chad, My fault, I forgot what we were dealing with, got a head of myself. No, it's still not going to make a difference. :cool: :cool: :cool:

And, is there any way to look from the back of the fridge and see if the compressor lines are going into the sidewalls and where and at what angle?
I don't mean to be picky, but I really don't want to screw this up!:eek: The 40 to 42 " was just to keep yopu away from the top of the fresh food compartment and the divider channel between the freezer and fresh food compartments. It should also give you plenty of room for additional hoses, fittings etc. No, I don't know where you'd get a product specific bill of materials spec. sheet/ blue print for a unit without contacting the manufacturer, I imagine if your convincing enough they may be able to give you a better idea. Once the condenser loop enters the cabinet, there's not a "real" way of determining the tube location. In the majority of units, the tube is contained in the upper 3/4 of the opening of the fresh food compartment,on both sides. Your measurements and dimensions will work as well. I gave you the dimensions I would use, were it me. :cool: :cool: :cool:

Does anyone know if there is wiring or coolant lines in this area? Thank you in advance. Chad, I would look closer at 40 to 42 inches up from the bottom of the fridge. And stay as close to center as possible. There is usually a post condenser loop running at a 45 dgr angle, approximately 16 inches from the bottom back to the front cabinet opening, so I'm pretty sure you'll miss it . Good Luck, :cool: :cool: :cool:
