Thanks guys...it's been a tough week chasing down issues with the engine and other tedious projects...just hope the fridge goes smooth aND was looking for posite news...
Although it does look like it is a 1/4 inch bigger than my old fridge cut out, so shaving trim and maybe raising the bottom of the pantry above it may be in order....
For a replacement and supposedly correctly sized item....why are alterations the norm rather than the exception?
