Furion Refrigerator Door
For those with 12V Furrion refrigerators, I don't know how many have refrigerator doors that won't latch by simply closing, or won't latch at least part of the time. Freezer doors don't appear to have the problem. Some people are able to adjust the bottom hinge enough to work, but mine and others were at their maximum adjustment.
Another owner said that his latch broke when closing too hard, and a Jayco dealer (who didn't have the part) said it was common, and to tell whoever fixed it to put a washer in the bottom hinge. So I did.
First picture is where the latch hit before, second is after, and third is the hinge. In the hinge picture, the top two parts are in the door. The third piece is an existing nylon washer, and bottom is the washer I added.
Closes now without any effort or holding the latch down. Only small issue is that, when using the standoff provided to keep the doors open during non-use, if the freezer door is closed first the fridge latch will still hit. Not a problem if the fridge door is closed first, and of course it works with using the handle otherwise.
