So we have never been happy with the reefer and the way the hatch seals or better way to say it Doesn't Seal. So this winter project was to replace our counter-top and improve the reefer. So the removal was alot harder then I had figured especially around the reefer.
Anyways was able to save the old counter-top to use as templates and fabricated the new counter-top out of Corian since it is a machinable plastic.
So the counter-top project has gone very well so far but now we need to figure out the best design for the hatch. Should we cut the Hatch in half like the old hatch or leave it as one solid unit.
In the one photo you can seethe line drawn to show were I would cut the Hatch. The real problem with cutting it in half is making it seal along that seam.
The problem with leaving it as one piece is the weight of the Hatch plus when you open the reefer the open will be twice as large letting more cold air out.
Any suggestions
Thanks
