Door Thumb latches

Some ATs have little thumb 'backup' latches on the refrigerator door, to secure it better in rough water. We did not have these, but NovaKool were happy to send us two, at no charge. How nice is that??

They arrived in short order and Marion (I think that is his name) even called a week later to ask if I had received the latches and if I had any questions or problems in installing them.

The fridge and freezer door are designed to be reversible, for left-hand (as we have) or right-hand opening. These latches screw into the three already-drilled ‘extra’ holes for the hinges.

The screws take a little effort to get them started, as they are self-tapping.

We prefer not to have the power drain of the ice maker when we are staying out on the hook.

Whenever you turn off the ice maker and intend to leave it off for more than a day, be sure to leave the door open so that it can dry out.

We made the mistake of shutting it off and leaving it off with the door closed for several months one time – this resulted in the internal rotor system corroding so much that the ice
