Over time, repeated use, knocks in transit, or general wear can compromise its seal and function.

This replacement assembly:

• Restores proper sealing around the fridge cavity, helping maintain internal temperatures

Fitting Instructions

Tools Needed:
Screwdrivers (Phillips & flat), adjustable spanner, spirit level, clean cloth.

1. Turn Off Power:

   • Switch off fridge electrical supply (12 V/230 V) and isolate if necessary.

   • Empty the fridge and remove shelves to reduce weight and avoid obstruction.

2. Open Existing Door:

   • Fully open the current fridge door to access hinge fixings.

3. Remove Old Door:

   • Locate the top and bottom hinge screws securing the door.

   • Using the appropriate screwdriver, remove these screws while supporting the door with a second hand to prevent dropping.

   • Carefully lift the door off its hinges and set aside.

4. Prepare New Door:

   • Take the Dometic RC10-4 door assembly and check hinge locator positions.

   • Ensure the gasket seal around the edge is seated properly.

5. Mount to Hinges:

   • Position the new door onto the top hinge pin/shaft first, then lower it onto the bottom hinge.

   • Align the door so that it sits flush with the fridge frame.

6. Secure Fixings:

   • Insert and tighten the top and bottom hinge screws without over-tightening (to avoid stress on the frame).

   • Check that the door remains level and parallel to fridge edges.

7. Check Seal and Movement:

   • Gently open and close the door several times to ensure smooth action.

   • Confirm the gasket seals evenly all around when closed.

8. Reconnect and Test:

   • Restore power and monitor fridge temperatures over the next few hours to confirm proper performance.

Pro Tips:

• If your old door has trim or décor panels, transfer them to the new door or replace with matching panels for a seamless finish.

• Use a spirit level while tightening the hinges to avoid slanted installation.
