[C320-list] Access to fridge underside?

[Scott Thompson]

If you must get access, my guess (having not tried it myself) about the 
best approach would be to cut a hole through the bulkhead behind and 
below the fridge from the aft cabin. You could install a small 
inspection port in that location without messing up the appearance on 
the galley side. That said, I would consult with the factory before cutting.
