New to the forum here. I would like to start out by thanking everyone for all of the threads that they have started in the past. There is a plethora of information on this website.
I am currently in the process of an upright keezer build. I have a Kenmore 22042 20.2 cu. ft. Upright Freezer and a 24" wide wall mount drip tray from ACU Manufacturing.
My problem is that I purchased the drip tray before I brought home the freezer. I am now noticing that the freezer door has a slight curve to it. At 12" from center (where the edge of the drip tray would land) the door deflects 1/4" inward. I have drawn a terrible picture in paint to show this.
I have been racking my brain trying to come up with solutions to make this a clean install. These are the options that I have come up with so far:
1. Do nothing
2. Shim outside faucet holes so that tray remains straight across. Caulk the gap (either white or silver)
2. Attempt to bend the bottom of the tray to fit the contour of the door. The top will pull in when the shanks are tightened.
Would like to hear your thoughts and/or experiences. Thank you!
