Sorry, I wasn't clear on that. The fridge door is fine. It's the hatch outside I need a replacement for. The fridge says Dometic 211. Is that the same or a different model from most of the fridges? This looks like the original setup unless someone went to a lot of trouble to relocate the controls etc. into that area. The grate above the hatch says Dometic on it as well.

Thanks for any help,

I need a new door for that. Any thoughts on where to find one?

It looks to me like you have a different refrigerator model than came in most Westies. Maybe someone replaced it at some point. If you find out what model the refrigerator is, it's possible you can get a replacement door from either the refrigerator manufacturer or an RV shop.
