Dometic RPD190 Spare Parts

The Dometic CoolMatic RPD190, originally sold under the Waeco CoolMatic brand, is a premium 190-litre compressor refrigerator designed for caravans, motorhomes, commercial vehicles and marine applications. Unlike traditional 3-way absorption refrigerators, the RPD190 uses a high-performance Secop (formerly Danfoss) compressor cooling system, delivering fast cooling, excellent freezer performance and reliable operation in extreme temperatures.

Because compressor refrigerators do not rely on gravity-fed cooling units, the RPD190 continues operating efficiently on uneven terrain and in demanding Australian conditions. With dual-voltage operation and automatic AC/DC prioritisation, it remains one of Dometic's most respected large-capacity compressor fridge platforms.

Key Features

Compressor Cooling Technology

Unlike absorption refrigerators, the RPD190 uses a mechanically driven compressor refrigeration system.

Benefits include:

• Faster cool-down times
• Superior freezer performance
• Excellent hot-weather operation
• No requirement for perfectly level parking
• Improved energy efficiency when paired with lithium batteries and solar systems

Automatic AC/DC Energy Priority

The RPD190 automatically detects available power sources.

When 240V mains power becomes available, the refrigerator automatically switches from battery power to mains operation, helping preserve battery capacity while connected to a caravan park or generator.

Multiple Operating Modes

The electronic control system includes three performance modes:

Turbo Mode

• Maximum compressor speed
• Fast cooling of warm food and drinks

Normal Mode

• Standard everyday operation
• Balanced performance and efficiency

Economy Mode

• Reduced power consumption
• Ideal for overnight use or cooler conditions
• Extends battery runtime

Designed for Mobile Applications

The RPD190 includes:

• Separate freezer door
• Interior LED lighting
• Adjustable shelving
• Bottle retainers
• Automatic refrigerator defrosting
• Mechanical travel latches
• Secure storage design for rough-road travel

Replacement Information

Although the RPD190 remains a highly respected refrigerator, some units may eventually require replacement due to age, cooling system failure or cosmetic deterioration. Main reason for replacement is an internal coolant leak.

Modern replacement options may include:

• Dometic RUD Series compressor refrigerators
• Dometic NRX Series compressor refrigerators
  

Because compressor refrigerators often have a long service life, replacing individual parts is frequently far more economical than replacing the complete refrigerator.
