I'm redoing my refrigerator/freezer compartment - adding 1" insulation around the inside and I'd like to seal off the top of the refrigerator side and put a door on the front. I was told by one serviceman that "you can get a kit to do that." I've not been able to find one online. Anyone done this, heard of this, seen one that was done, know anything about doing it?
I've read up on +/- of have top loading to front door and the deciding factor for me, beyond the sheer convenience of being to have ready access to the whole compartment, is that opening a door and grabbing what you need will mostly just cause cold air loss. Cooling off some air requires very little BTUs. Cooling items removed from a compartment and then re stacked into the compartment often costs more BTUs to re-cool the items that have started to warm just being pulled out and put back in.
