I have a 2015 19’…. Dometic rm8555, I believe it is a 130l fridge. Any recommendations for a direct replacement compressor fridge? Would like to not cut up the cabinet. Thanks
 
The Norcold N2175 is an exact fit. Block off the outside vents as it pulls air in from the front and blows it back out the front.

Here's mine in my E21C ...

BTW, the door hinge is reversible without any extra parts required, but my wife preferred it this way. This fridge has treated us very nicely for the 3 years we've had it so far.
 
I replaced my RMD 8550 two years ago. I believe I had the double door version of your refrigerator. Check to be sure that dimensions are similar but the dimensions I saw were.

RMD 8555. 190. 1245 x 525 x 625. RMD 10.5XT. 177. 1245x523x605. MES

I installed a Dometic RMD 10.5XT. Soon after Dometic stopped selling the 10. But since then, they have placed it back on the market.

I did the install myself though I needed help physically removing and installing the new model. There are some excellent instructions on this form with precise steps and photos. It took a couple of hours.

I could never justify the cost, work and payback to install all the solar, lithium and controls for a compressor refrigerator.

After two seasons of use I would say the RMD 10 is a very good refrigerator. Gas, 12 volt and 120 volt - not like the POS 8550. It works better.
 
X2 at least Paul on the Dometic RMD 10.5XT as a direct replacement. Dyer's RV is a great place to buy it.
