Hey all,
I just came into possession of a Roper top-freezer style fridge. Model RT18BKXKQ01 if you want to play along at home.
I've read a LOT about cutting into the walls of fridges, and watching out for coolant lines, etc etc etc. But I also saw this awesome Side by side fermentation chamber build and thought it'd be nifty if I cut the floor out of the freezer, and build some shelves into this one.
Call me crazy, but I don't think there's anything in the freezer floor of this fridge. Or the walls. In fact, it looks like the evaporator is in the freezer, on the back wall, with a fan to circulate the air.
What do y'all think? Is it worth cutting out the floor to see what's in there, and maybe gain some more space inside?
Here's the parts diagram of the mechanics of this fridge. This makes me even more confident there are no coolant lines in the floor. I expect a bunch of wiring, though...
Cheers!!!!
