Gentlemen,

I am trying to find the modern plastic side vents for the refrigerator and LP access doors. I was hoping not to cut or cut as little as possible.

Does anyone have the part numbers for the plastic vents and have they mad any additional sizes which will help reduce the structural cutting involved?

Thanks,
Tom K.

Hi Tom,

If you are looking for the one's to fit your Birchaven, the sizes are 20 x 12 for the refrigerator opening and 13 3/8" x 13 1/2" for the propane (assuming the original outer frame is still in place). I don't have anything as useful as part numbers for new plastic assemblies. Applied has an aluminum replacement for the propane door that fits really well.

Applied also list a larger plastic replacement for the fridge. Here is an earlier thread, that had my and Joe Weir's solutions to dealing with the fridge opening

Hope this helps.
