Dometic RMD8555 Spare Parts

The Dometic RMD8555 is a premium double-door 3-way absorption refrigerator from Dometic's highly regarded 8-Series range. Designed for caravans, motorhomes and RVs, the RMD8555 combines large-capacity food storage with the convenience of Automatic Energy Selection (AES), allowing it to automatically switch between LPG gas, 12V DC and 240V AC power depending on the available energy source.

Featuring a separate freezer compartment and a large lower refrigerator section, the RMD8555 delivers excellent cooling performance while maintaining the silent operation that absorption refrigerators are known for. Its combination of capacity, convenience and off-grid flexibility made it one of Dometic's most popular premium caravan refrigerators.

Although now discontinued, the RMD8555 remains widely installed throughout Australia, creating strong demand for replacement parts and maintenance components.

Key Features

Automatic Energy Selection (AES)

The RMD8555's defining feature is its Automatic Energy Selection (AES) technology.

The system automatically selects the most appropriate available energy source:

• 240V AC when connected to mains power
• 12V DC whilst towing
• LPG gas when camping off-grid

This seamless switching removes the need for manual power source selection and maximises convenience while travelling.

Double-Door Refrigerator & Freezer Design

The separated freezer compartment helps minimise thermal loss when accessing the refrigerator section, improving cooling efficiency and reducing temperature fluctuations.

Silent Absorption Cooling

Like all Dometic absorption refrigerators, the RMD8555 operates without a compressor, providing:

• Completely silent operation
• No vibration
• Reliable off-grid cooling
• Flexible multi-power-source performance

Premium Convenience Features

• AES electronic control system
• Electronic gas ignition
• Interior LED lighting
• Adjustable shelving
• Large door storage bins

Replacement Information

The Dometic RMD8555 has been discontinued and has been directly succeeded by the modern Dometic RMD10.5XS and Dometic RMD10.5XP models.

Recommended Replacement Models

Dometic RMD10.5XS

• 173L total capacity
• Universal Energy Selection (UES)

Dometic RMD10.5XP
