Replacement Information
While the RPD190 and RPD218 remain highly regarded refrigerators, some older units may eventually require replacement.
Modern alternatives may include:
- Dometic RCD Series compressor refrigerators
- Dometic NRX Series compressor refrigerators
- Current-generation Dometic upright compressor models
In many cases, however, replacing individual components is a far more economical solution than replacing the entire refrigerator.
