Restore the look and function of your Dometic RV refrigerator with this direct-replacement door handle kit. The NBK Parts 20580K is an exact-fit replacement for Dometic OEM part 38511740311, covering both the upper and lower doors on a wide range of DM and RM series absorption refrigerators. Everything you need for a complete swap is included in the box.
Broken, cracked, or missing door handles are one of the most common Dometic refrigerator complaints after years on the road. Road vibration, UV exposure, and repeated use all take a toll on the original plastic handles. This kit from NBK Parts is purpose-built to restore factory fit and finish without the guesswork of sourcing individual components.
The kit replaces the single-handle part number 381174023 and provides hardware for both the upper fresh-food door and the lower freezer door in one package. The black color matches the original factory finish on all compatible models.
Includes handles for both the upper and lower refrigerator doors -- no need to order separately or mix and match.
Kit ships with 2 door handles, 2 airing cards, and 4 mounting screws. No trips to the hardware store.
Black plastic construction matches the factory color on all listed DM and RM series Dometic models.
Confirmed fit across nine Dometic DM and RM refrigerator models sold across multiple RV manufacturers.
The airing cards (also called ventilation cards or spacer cards) mount between the handle body and the door panel. They create a small gap that allows air circulation around the door seal perimeter, which helps prevent moisture buildup and seal adhesion during transport. These are often lost or broken when the original handle fails -- this kit replaces both cards along with the handles themselves.
This handle kit is confirmed to fit the following Dometic absorption refrigerator models:
Handle replacement on DM and RM series Dometic refrigerators is a straightforward DIY task. The existing handles are retained by screws accessible from inside the door or through the handle body itself. The four screws included in this kit replace the originals during installation.
