Norcold Lower Door 638534 panel door (fits the N8/ NA8/ NA10/ NA10)
This is the lower refrigerator door that fits all Norcold Polar N8 and NA8 models:
This door does not come with the decorative front panel. You can use your existing panel by simply unclipping the side black retainer by apply some pressure, and then sliding the panel out of your old door. You would follow the same steps to install the panel onto your new door.
Troubleshooting
Potential problems that a new door could solve:
- Lower door hinge breaking off
-
We fully realize this is frustrating. Unfortunately, the lower hinge is made of plastic, which means it occasionally loses arguments with reality. Common causes include: children using the open refrigerator door as a jungle gym, aggressive potholes, “I barely even saw that dip,” off-road adventures (strongly not advised), and enough salsa jars in the door to stock a taco truck.
If your refrigerator has raised wooden door panels, we highly recommend switching to a smooth black or flat wooden panel to reduce stress on the hinge. The heavier the panel, the more leverage the road has against it every time your RV reenacts a minor earthquake.
While traveling, it’s also best to keep as few items in the door shelves as possible. Refrigerator doors can swing open unexpectedly after a particularly brutal pothole, railroad crossing, or “shortcut” your GPS swore was paved.
In short: lighter door, fewer condiments, less chaos. Your hinge will thank you.
