A refrigerator's model family does not always identify the correct replacement part. Product IDs, serial-number ranges, power configurations and door direction can change the applicable illustrated parts list.
Where to look for the data label
Check the refrigerator interior for a permanent manufacturer data plate, often on an inner cabinet wall; some models have the label behind the vegetable drawer. Locations vary, so consult the owner's manual for your exact refrigerator. Do not remove covers or access electrical/gas systems to look for the label.
Record these details before shopping
- Full manufacturer name and model, including all suffixes, decimal points and digits.
- Serial number and product ID if supplied; photograph the entire label.
- Door orientation, number of doors, ice-maker option and existing power type.
- Old part number or markings from the failed component, if safely accessible.
- Wide photo of the installed refrigerator and cabinetry if replacing the whole unit.
Model names can conceal important differences
Our diagrams distinguish Norcold N641 two-way, N641.3 three-way, and N641IM with ice maker. They should not be assumed to share every part.
Why does my Dometic RM2652 show a second number?
The product ID can identify a specific parts-list version. Find the RM2652 diagram for your product ID: 921144002, 921144003, 921144004 and 921144001. Match the label and door configuration before choosing.
What if the label is unreadable?
Gather photos of the front, controls, cabinetry and any remaining manufacturer markings. Ask for model confirmation before relying on pictures or approximate measurements.
Manufacturer source checked: Norcold N2090/N2152/N2175 service manual identifies distinct model and serial numbers on the information label.
Find the correct part, not just a similar-looking one
Use the published OEM refrigerator diagrams, then check the exact model, product ID and applicable serial range. If uncertain, send us the label photo and old part number. Do not assume that a symptom proves a specific part has failed.
