My factory installed frig seems kind of loose, meaning I can move it front to back in its cabinet. When I open the outside access panels it looks like it is held in place by a flexible gasket. Is this normal or has something come loose?

Also, in regards to the refigerator being level for proper operation...how level does it have to be and is it in the front-back or side-side directions or both that it needs to be level in? Thanks in advance for your replies!

It's hard to get a fridge manufacturer to commit to numbers. They generally say if you're comfortable so is your fridge. With reference to the fridge itself it should be within 3 degrees side to side and within 6 degrees front to back. Since the fridge is mounted crosswise in the Pod those numbers are reversed when referenced to the trailer.

The fridge should not move. Here is a link to the proper installation instructions...

To check the level of your fridge in any given situation open the freezer door and place a bulls-eye level just inside. The level does not have to be perfect, just close enough to allow for the gases and liquids to run down and trickle from top to bottom using gravity.
