For those that want to know what that part number REALLY is, it's a Dometic Tundra refrigerator, model # TJ42. (long story behind that model  WAS made in MX, but after a RPG caught the place on fire, they are no longer made there and NO parts). SO you have to start over. Now that is why I'm sending this email out. Has anyone replaced theirs? Everyone is telling me to get a  CR-1110U/F 3.8CF AC/DC or a The 3.8 CU refrigerator we have in stock is CR 1065E/F-SS-74802.145.20. Rinker part number 2580219 or even a Vitrifrigo C115.

I want to see what others have put in your boat.  Also what did you do to get the OLD ONE OUT!!! looks like I have to take out the rubber molding, and take off the door stopper to have the sliding door open all the way. That way I can get about 21-22 inch to get that old fridge out of the boat.

    and HOPING it's going to  work. Will let you all know.

    By the way, to get the OLD fridge out, you have to take off the molding, cut a hole in the wire hardness behind  the controls (so you can get to the door stopper off) take out the 2 screws on the stopper (through the holes you just made), take off the silicone from the stopper, then the Galley door will slide all the way open. you will now have 22.5 inches to get the old one out. its a pain, but it works. the Fridge is less that $800.00

    I have the same Tundra fridge and it's still humming along.  But it's good to see that someone makes a fairly direct replacement.

    the last owner used a ICE PICK to defrost the freezer part. :p  Lets just say, it had HOLEs all in the evaporator. That is why I'm replacing it

    Some people should not be allowed to own boats or operate power tools.  I believe the previous owner of your boat is one of them.
