How to keep fridge freezer door open when not in use

[mrsmfexpanda]

THe silverline and some starcraft have the split door fridges wondering how people keep them open without the freezer door always closing . I could have bought a plastic thingy on the web for $20 but thought i have leftover curtain hooks maybe that will work just.put a bandaid on the tip so not to scratch the fridge It does work see pics below

I just pop the tea towel rolled up hung over the door, in it keeps the doors open enough to stop it going smelly

when parked up, I have the front of the Van higher than normal

and just leave the fridge door open - it cannot close

We got given a Dometic plastic doohicki that supposed to lock onto the frudge door catch and striker to lock them together but slightly open ... but i cant work the damn thing

Stubby cooler wedged in freezer door for me

Whilst we don't have a split door fridge, I just lift one of the trays from door and stick it out a bit. If the van is facing the other way, I just let the door sit open. We're not in there, don't really care if it's in the way!

Just park the van on an angle that holds the door open by itself.

I leave ours turned on and a couple of cold ones in it for those "Doghouse Nights"

Do use the tea towel trick when turned off!

If those door thingies are blue.....then that's what we have too. I use them, and love them. Easy as to use. (Sorry @Crusty181 and the rest. Must be a girl thing )

If ours haven't ended up in the bush by our next WA trip @Smirke you can show me the trick to it

We are all waiting patiently for your Youtube video :noidea:

The handover guy made a particular point of telling me they're like rare gems ..... don't loose it. Ive protected it with my life, but I don't know what to do with it

How about a photo of it in use?

 

[Smirke]

Will do....in the morning. Don't want to scare the neighbours .

As for the YouTube vid....will need my boys for that one. That and Twitter are not high on my agenda.

 

[Smirke]

Ok, here it is people. Luckily my neighbours aren't up at 5.30am
Now for the video......

Ok it said it didn't have an extension allowed (?????)

So, you push that tab thing back slightly to fit into the door latch. Push down then make sure the other end 'clicks' in to the locking bit on the fridge/freezer.

beat me to it @Smirke
