Our (discontinued) over-the-range Sharp R-1850A plastic control panel surround was shaken loose en route down from Alaska, and being brittle and old, smashed. I've attempted repairs but it's impossible, and without it, the key panel dangles on its wires and the two plastic control buttons are missing. It seems the insurers are amenable to replacing it and we're awaiting the adjusters visit, so meantime I've been researching a suitable replacement - and getting nowhere.
I don't care what make/model/power/cubic capacity the new one has, just so long as it's black and will fit in the hole. I'm also "happy" to fit it myself although would prefer to have it installed professionally in the circumstances. Dimensions are 29.94"W x 16.34"H x 15.28"D. Can I find something that's either in stock or still available? Nope.
The alternative is to find & fit a used panel which I'd also be "happy" to do although the risk is that it may be as brittle as the last one. Can't find one of those for love nor money either. (Part #FPNLCB153MRKO)
We'll be starting to sell the coach from around 20th August after our cruise so need to get it fixed ASAP. Any suggestions (or anyone have a unit they might not wanting which would fit)?
Here's the panel. I only need the plastic surround but wouldn't matter if I get one with a new keypad control unit.
