All the "how to" advice I have seen on the internet suggests cutting a 3" hole for the tower dead center in the top. I have seen one posting on NB Forum from Jeff who hit a refrigerant line in the top with one of the tower mounting screws. (Bummer!)
Seems like it would be safer to move the tower off dead center towards the front by about an inch or so to get further away from the refigerant line which crosses the top about 7" from the back side.
Anyone have any opinions or advice on locating the tower hole in the top of the 4912M?
I took temp readings on the top with a handheld laser thermometer - which seem to confrim the location of the refrigerant line in the top as others have suggested - about 7" from the back side. I get a hot spot right in the middle --- less temp towards the sides, more rapid temp drop off towards front or back -- I interpret this as line may be spot welded to top in the middle and then burried in the insulation as it goes to the sides. Does that sound right? Anyone know anything more about where the lines are in the top. Is only the one line - right??
