Steve,

I still don't understand how you got the wall off in the front. In my 38FL the front wall is one piece of material side to side.

Ken,
My FL came with 3 pc. on the front. You are looking at the center piece I took out that had 2 matching moldings over the seams. I did cut the panel just below the upper cabinet but that didn't make any problems for me since I had that small shelf I built there.
If I didn't have the shelf I would have just added another trim piece. If you don't want to cut against the cabinet it looks like there are just about a dozen screws and it will come off the wall.
As you look at the picture it looks like I made a strange cut on the top but the two squares on the left and right are blocking that is in the wall behind the wall board.

Ken, my 38FL is the same with two pieces of trim for the center panel on the front wall.
Looks like if I remove the two pieces of trim then I would be able to remove the center panel, just not sure about cutting the top edge of the panel at the cabinet.
Not sure how I would cover up the trim.
Looks like a interesting weekend project at it does get pretty hot up in the front living room area.

Thanks, I will be opening mine up this weekend after we move to Tucson.

Got it.

Thanks

I don't think we needed one more project... sure wish they had gotten it right to start with. Nothing is perfect, but feels like we are regularly fixing and repairing. Wondered why the closet was always so hot or cold. I'm guessing we'll find the same.

now I see why my bathroom is always cold and my bedroom is warm. I will open up my front wall after my rig comes back from the keystone factory in penelton Org. thanks for the info.

While it is not the intention of RW to provide our owners with endless projects this issue will not go unnoticed. Each cap is sprayed with adhesive, first for the foil and then sprayed again to hold up the fiberglass insulation. It will be addressed in our next product meeting. I apologize for the inconvenience this may have caused you. Note taken.

Tim,

Thanks for addressing this issue at the factory.

Tim,

Is this a minor repair we can get the RW service people to address at the rally?

THANK YOU Tim for the reply.
I would like to say that having a reply from RW makes many of us owners feel better knowing you are taking a look at this site and also willing to post a reply.

Ken, Who knows if all are like mine but an easy way out to start is if you have or know someone with a small inspection camera. You could drill a 3/4" hole in the upper cabinet back and look around in there before you pull it apart.

Steve

Thank You Tim for responding !

It makes me feel better knowing that you actually do get the feed back from our actual issues, and not just us rambling about stuff.

It took me less than an hour to do the entire fix. If you have a front closet with shoe boxes. Just remove the shoe box (4 screws)and you have full access to the area. I cut 12" strips and layered them from the bottom up, after stuffing any gaps that I saw.

Tim,
So nice to get a response from RW. It sounds like you are listening. Thanks.

When you consider this along with the Crappy AC design that cannot be fixed. Now i understand why I cannot cool my 38GK properly. And the temps cannot be balanced. I have done all the projects possible. The only way I can fix my GK is to pawn it off on some other poor sucker like myself. I love it, but I hate it.
