[C320-list] Waeco Refrigerator

[wflowe3 at aim.com]

 My newly developed problem is that when you lift the handle, only the top latch releases. Have to slide a screw driver under the bottom latch to get the door open. There was coincidentally a piece of  metal pin that came from somewhere. Next trip to the boat, I'm going to remove the door and see if I can get into it.

I'll also be trying to find a replacement door just in case. These little units are pretty pricey--who would have guessed that?

Thanks for the tip.  I will print this and take it to the boat next time I see 
it (in November).

I have always found mine opened more easily if I lifted the handle close to
the middle, right next to the catch, rather than at the side of the door.
The plastic moulding twists when lifted at the end and you don't get as much
latch travel.
