RV Doctor George in Sacramento might have a used door. There are other suppliers of used parts too. If you have to contact Dometic, be sure you are sitting on the floor when you phone them. Sitting on the floor is the safest way to make this call. You can't fall off the floor, and when Dometic tells you the price of the replacement door, you most likely will collapse.

Little House Customs dot com has fridge door hinge reinforcement parts which work for the Dometic fridges they put in Casitas. You could contact them and ask if they would work on your fridge. I'm sure the price is much more reasonable than Dometic's

Morgan is 100% correct, Dometic thinks very highly of their parts

I don't know if Larry's Little house plate will work on your door but here's a picture of it on my older Dometic.
It's fantastic as a preventative measure and might rescue your door.

Well I too have the the same RM 2354 fridge in my trailer. Was told by a good friend that the door hinges do break or crack as did yours. The main cause I was told was placing heavy objects in the door shelf and just the weight on the door and the vibration from the road causes this.

Will my fix was to place a support under the non hinged side. But what? Well I order the lower hinge foe the open side of the door. This part would be needed if the door was to open the opposite way. After the hinge was installed the weight of the door rests on the hinge support. There is also a hole in the bottom of the door that aligns withe the hole in the hinge. I found a pin and a long elastic and now more door won't jar open as well and no stress on the other door hinges.

Hi, I came across your post about the fridge door hinge. We have the same situation, did you ever find a solution? I have called Dometic and I don't think they have the part anymore according to what they said. I have reached out via email to a few online resources I have found through Google. Thanks for any info!

Yikes, I am sorry. I thought I was direct messaging the original posting person. My trailer is in the market! I was trying to fix the fridge door hinge that cracked just like the person who posted. The fridge is the same one Dometic fridge door RM 2354. I am sorry for making a confusing post.

OK on my 1999 17' Casita SD that I have sold the bottom hinge broke off so first I glued it back on then installed the plate that Little House Customs sells to reinforce it but didn't put a plate on the top.
You guessed it, a short while later the top hinge broke.

In both instances the hinges broke when the trailer was just sitting in the driveway and not on the road
