Hi All,
On our first cruise last month, we lost the refrigerator water circulation pump and had to hump ice everyday from the grocery store. I replaced the pump and decided to insulate the stock ice box. If anyone has not done this, I can't recommend it enough! I ran the refrigerator for 8 straight days and had to turn it down to the lowest cool setting, because it was below freezing at the farthest point away from the freezer. UNBELIEVABLE difference in operation!
I went to Lowes and bought a piece of 1" thick board insulation, styrofoam with silver one side and plastic on the other. Cut pieces to fit (about 90% coverage) and layed them in place and duct taped the seams. Nothing is permanent, it can all be taken out in 2 minutes. You will NOT be disappointed with the results!
