A loose freezer flap can make a small refrigerator repair feel bigger than it should. Before ordering, establish exactly what has broken: the hinge, the flap’s attachment area or the surrounding mounting point. This CarLightBulb listing identifies a white freezer-compartment hinge under reference 2412125011. The useful buying question is not simply whether your motorhome has a Dometic refrigerator, but whether this assembly matches the appliance and the hardware already fitted.
Product snapshot
First, separate hinge damage from flap damage
Look at the existing assembly without forcing the flap through its travel. Photograph any visible break and the places where the hinge attaches. If the surrounding attachment area is damaged too, pause before choosing a hinge-only purchase; this listing does not establish that a replacement hinge will address that additional damage.
Keep the scope of the purchase clear. The product is described as a complete hinge for an evaporator flap, sold individually. It is not listed as a replacement freezer flap, an outer refrigerator-door hinge or a refrigerator repair kit.
The listed dimensions and references
Product snapshot: white finish; bottom arm dimensions of 75 mm × 24 mm; top arm dimensions of 75 mm × 44 mm; listed Dometic part reference 2412125011; listed Dometic kit reference 44990000026; CarLightBulb SKU N002-A062~2.
Use those measurements as comparison points, not as a substitute for checking the mounting arrangement. The supplied photos show two differently shaped arms, a central pivot, a visible metal spring and mounting tabs. Compare those visible details with your removed hinge from equivalent angles. Neither the kit reference nor the SKU establishes that multiple hinges or extra hardware are supplied.
Match the refrigerator, not just the caravan
The supplied compatibility list names individual Dometic refrigerators, including RM6270, RM6400, RM7270, RM7360, RM7401, RM7551, RM8400, RM8401, RM8405, RM8500, RM8501, RM8505, RM8550, RM8551 and RM8555. These are selected entries, not permission to extend compatibility to every similarly numbered refrigerator.
Read the appliance label and compare the complete model designation and original part number. Some entries in the supplied list have inconsistent suffix formatting, so a close-looking model name needs clarification rather than guesswork. The listing does not specify a left- or right-hand application. Send clear label and hinge photos for confirmation if orientation or model details remain uncertain.
Plan the fitting before removing the old assembly
Before dismantling, photograph the hinge orientation, attachment positions and relationship to the flap. Follow the instructions applicable to your exact refrigerator, including preparation and isolation requirements. Do not assume a generic video establishes the removal sequence, tools or spring handling for your appliance.
The listing’s installation video is explicitly reference-only. If the hinge arrangement is unclear, or removal would require forcing a mounting tab, stop and consult an RV appliance technician. No installation time, torque setting or required tool list is supplied. After fitting, check that the flap moves and sits correctly without forcing it; investigate any remaining interference rather than treating the new hinge as proof that everything else is sound.
Before-order checklist
- Photograph the complete refrigerator identification label.
- Compare original markings with reference 2412125011.
- Measure both arms and compare mounting tabs.
- Confirm side and orientation before ordering.
- Inspect the flap and surrounding attachment points.
- Confirm quantity and any needed hardware separately.

A replacement flap is not listed. The described item is the evaporator-flap hinge.
Will it fit every Dometic RV refrigerator?
No universal fit is stated. Match the exact appliance designation, original reference, dimensions and physical arrangement before buying.
Confirm the match before replacing the hinge
Compare your label, original hinge and mounting photos with this listing. If any detail differs, ask CarLightBulb to clarify compatibility and package contents before ordering SKU N002-A062~2.
