Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if my thermostat valve assembly needs replacement?
Signs include: your fridge won't maintain set temperature, cooling cycles constantly without reaching desired temp, or the unit runs continuously without cycling off. A professional technician can confirm with a system pressure test.
Is this a difficult installation for a DIYer?
Most RV owners with basic mechanical skills can handle this replacement. You'll need to access the cooling unit from the exterior of your RV and disconnect refrigerant lines. We recommend consulting your owner's manual or contacting our support team if you're unsure about the process.
Will this part work on my older RM model?
This assembly fits RM and RMD series refrigerators. To confirm compatibility with your specific model year, provide your refrigerator's serial number or model designation, and our team can verify the exact fit.
