Removing Norcold 8 cf refrigerator
I'm in the process of replacing the 8 cf Norcold refrigerator in my 2006 Itasca for a 10 cf residential frig. The problem is that I can't get the old frig to budge out of its hole. I've removed the doors, front facia and the front screws, which, according to the installation instructions, should be all that's holding the fridge in place. Are there any other screws or bolts on the back side, near the exterior vent panel that need removing?
I need to go to my local Winnebago dealer tomorrow to get the annual state safety inspection done. Hopefully, they will give me some "free" advice! It's a small mom and pop, country dealership and they actually do know you by your name! They only charge $75/hour!

There should be 2 screws at the back edge of both the metal base plates , of the fridge , right side could be hard to access around the burner.

Actually , the shield on the burner had to be removed to get at that side on my coach. Black circle.

You might have a bracket located on the rear of the fridge, top center. My Itasca has one in that location. You access it from the fridge roof vent.

You were correct! There was a bracket at the top. That, plus the bottom front overlapped the front facia board. This required lifting the fridge up to clear the facia.
The right side facia board will require trimming about 3/4 to 1 inch to clear the new residential refrigerator. Top to bottom has plenty of clearance. Now the fun begins.
Thanks for the help!

What's the make/model of your new residential fridge?

When you install do you plan to document it, I would really be interested in it, as I have a 2 door Norcold installed in my RV.
Pictures would be great, like before the install, maybe the empty space, and what you had to do to mount the fridge and the wood frame around the fridge.
