GPS_yota Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 Hey forum! I had the misfortune of losing the panel that covers the lower refrigerator guts during a windstorm. I put a WANTED ad in the classifieds, but wanted to hear about other's opinions of where the best place to source items like this. Should I keep looking in the classifieds and maybe craigslist/ebay, or should I find another source like a junkyard? Or maybe have someone local fabricate a new cover? Any tips are appreciated! Thanks in advance to all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fred heath Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 Check the big box chain stores or any HVAC supplier. Your panel looks similar to what would be used in a FHA heating system. You may have to modify somewhat, but if all else fails its worth a shot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FredNewell Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 Google RV Doctor George. This is a business in Sacramento that keeps lots of used parts of every kind. Fred Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek up North Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 The OP is in Indiana. Perhaps the best place in the world to find a replacement, no? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GPS_yota Posted March 2, 2014 Author Share Posted March 2, 2014 Great! Thanks for the help, I had no idea this was a standard part. Should be able to find a part easily now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
