Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if I need to replace my cover strip?
Replace the cover strip if it's cracked, brittle, discolored, or pulling away from the door. A damaged trim strip can allow the door gasket to shift out of position, compromising your refrigerator's seal and efficiency.
Can I install this trim strip myself?
Yes, most RV owners can install this cover strip with basic hand tools. The strip typically snaps or presses into place over the door gasket edge. Clean the mounting surface thoroughly before installation for best adhesion.
Is this the same part used on both upper and lower doors?
This depends on your specific refrigerator model. Some Dometic models use the same trim strip for both doors, while others require different parts. Check your refrigerator's parts diagram or contact our team to verify compatibility for your exact model.
Should I replace the door gasket when installing a new trim strip?
If your door gasket is also worn, torn, or not sealing properly, it's a good opportunity to replace both components together. However, if the gasket is still in good condition, you can replace just the trim strip.
