I do not have this problem with my 2013 8289WS. There is adequate clearance for the fridge door to remain ajar (with the blue keeper) when the slideout is closed.

Yes, you can upgrade, but cannot add the second A/C i the bedroom with 30A Service.

Hind sight being 20/20, the 50A option should have been selected if the RV was a build to specs.
