Identify Dometic and Norcold RV absorption-refrigerator sidewall vents by manufacturer number, opening size, model family and finish. The lower sidewall vent admits outside air and allows access for service; some certified installations use a separate upper sidewall exhaust vent instead of a roof outlet. A louver panel must match the refrigerator's approved ventilation arrangement and the existing wall opening.

Manufacturer ventilation drawings and vent-family tables

Dometic's official North American DM/RM/DMA refrigerator installation manual includes certified vent application tables (printed pages 11–15), colour-code variants and upper/lower sidewall airflow diagrams. The Dometic vent application sheet identifies the 3109492 rough opening as 9-11/16 × 19-1/4 inches.

Norcold's 622090A ventilation guidelines include original drawings of small 620505-style and larger 621156-style openings, upper and lower vent configurations, plus baffle requirements. Consult the specific refrigerator's installation manual before ordering or changing vent position.

Use the manufacturer drawings and product photographs below to compare the vent frame, opening and replacement part numbers.

Find the part in the refrigerator ventilation system

1 · Lower sidewall air inlet

Supplies fresh air from outside and serves as the burner/control service access. Do not obstruct the opening or change its location without a certified installation procedure.

2 · Rear chimney / condenser space

Rear baffles guide air over the absorber and condenser. Vent size alone does not establish cabinet clearance or compatible refrigerator model.

3 · Upper sidewall or roof exhaust

A second sidewall vent may be required for certain installations; other systems use a roof vent. These configurations have different height and baffle requirements.

4 · Vent door and mounting frame

Match the complete numbered louver assembly, original rough opening, colour, radius corners and retaining hardware. Similar grilles may not interchange.

Vent-family comparison: check the opening first

Dometic 3109492 family

Manufacturer application sheet: rough opening 9-11/16 × 19-1/4 in. Listed polar white 3109492.003 and black 3109492.004. This is separate from larger 3316941 vents.

Norcold small 620505-style family

Manufacturer's historical vent guideline shows rough opening 6-3/16 × 17-13/16 in. Catalog products 50650 and 50652 have similar measurements, but no blanket supersession is asserted.

Norcold large 621156-style family

Manufacturer's historical guideline shows rough opening 13-3/4 × 21-1/2 in. The catalog offers several large vent colours and styles. Confirm rounded corners and frame design independently.

Check Dometic vent part number 3316941.005

The referenced Dometic installation manual lists 3316941.000 for black and 3316941.010 for white. It does not establish 3316941.005 as an interchangeable version. Check the full number on your original vent before selecting a replacement.

For Norcold 2118-specific replacement bins, drip trays, optical and power boards, and original numbered manufacturer exploded drawings, see the Norcold 2118 OEM parts diagram reference. These interior and electrical components are distinct from the wall-vent assemblies described above.

Combustion and installation safety

These are safety-critical vents on gas absorption refrigerators. Norcold's manufacturer document requires only approved intake/exhaust arrangements, adequate vertical airflow and separation of combustion gases from the RV interior. Vent screens, additional fans, baffles or altered openings must not restrict the certified airflow. Shut off the propane and electrical supply before servicing, and follow the refrigerator model's installation manual.

For roof exhaust caps and bases, see the refrigerator roof vent guide. For fan kits and screens, see the refrigerator cooling and vent accessories reference. Browse RV refrigerator vent parts for additional models.
