Cooling unit failed? You don’t have to replace the fridge. The Nordic 5582-806A and the Dometic OEM 3313470.008 both fit. If you’d rather start fresh, the Dometic DM2882 replaces the RM2862 in the same 59-15/16" opening, or go 12V with the Norcold N10DC, which uses nearly the same opening. Send us your model and we’ll confirm the fit.
