Dometic RV Refrigerators

Which Dometic RV refrigerator models does this collection cover?

This collection includes Dometic absorption refrigerators (gas/electric two-way and three-way models) along with the DMC4081 and DMC4101 12V DC compressor units built for boondocking and solar-equipped rigs. Sizes range from compact 3 cubic foot units up to larger 8 and 10 cubic foot Americana-series builds. Always confirm your model number and door swing before ordering. If you need help matching a replacement to your current setup, our team can cross-reference legacy Dometic part numbers by phone or text.

What is the difference between a 2-way and 3-way Dometic RV fridge?

A 2-way Dometic absorption fridge runs on LP gas or 120V AC shore power. A 3-way adds a 12V DC mode, useful for short stretches while driving when the propane is shut off. The newer DMC-series 12V compressor refrigerators operate strictly on DC and pair well with solar/lithium setups for off-grid use. If your build leans toward boondocking, also look at RV electronics for the inverter and monitoring gear that supports a 12V DC fridge.

Do you carry replacement parts for older Dometic refrigerators?

Yes. Beyond complete units, we stock control boards, eyebrow boards, thermistors, cooling units, door bins, and gas valves for common Dometic platforms. Control board cross-references (3316348.900, 639593, 640178 and similar) are listed on each part page. For Norcold-equipped rigs, see our Norcold 1210 refrigerator essentials and Norcold 7 cubic foot refrigerator essentials collections.

How is a Dometic RV refrigerator shipped, and what are the freight costs?

Full refrigerator units ship via truck freight due to size and weight, with the freight charge listed on each product page (typically $99 to $299 depending on model). Smaller replacement parts and accessories ship standard ground, with free shipping on parts orders over $100. Inspect the crate for damage at delivery and note any issues on the bill of lading before signing.

How do I know which Dometic fridge fits my RV?

Measure the existing cutout width, height, and depth, then check the door hinge side and venting requirements (sidewall vs. roof vent). Match those dimensions to the spec sheet on the product page rather than relying on cubic foot capacity alone. If you are replacing an older absorption unit with a 12V DC compressor model, confirm your battery bank and charging capacity can handle the continuous amp draw. Text or call 817-984-1852 with your current model number and we will confirm fitment before you order.
