If your top shelf cracked, warped, or went missing, this is the OEM part that restores proper airflow and gets your absorption fridge cooling evenly again. Exact fit, no trimming, no guesswork.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"nvn-description\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf the upper grating in your Dometic RMD8551 or RMD8555 has cracked, warped, or gone missing, this is the genuine Dometic part that puts it right. It's the complete upper grating for those two refrigerator models, so you're not piecing together a fix. You're dropping in the same shelf Dometic built the fridge around. It's a small part with an outsized job, and getting the right one the first time saves you a second order.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese RMD units are three-way absorption refrigerators, the kind you'll find in a lot of boats and campers. They run quiet, they run on gas or 12 volt or shore power, and they hold cold well when the interior airflow is doing its job. That's where the grating earns its keep. It holds your food and drinks off the cooling surface while letting chilled air move around everything inside. A broken or missing shelf doesn't just look rough. It lets items sit against the back panel, blocks circulation, and makes the whole box work harder than it should.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause this is the OEM part, the fit is exact. It seats in the same position as the grating you're pulling out. No trimming, no drilling, no guessing at dimensions. When a fridge is built around a specific interior, the part that came with it is the part that works, and a proper shelf keeps the layout the way the engineers intended. Getting the exact shelf back in also protects the parts around it, since a warped or makeshift grating can rattle against the liner and wear at the finish over time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is the upper grating specifically. The RMD8551 and RMD8555 use more than one shelf inside, and the lower shelf is a separate Dometic part with its own number. So if you're replacing both, you'll want to order the lower one alongside this. If it's just the top shelf that gave out, this covers it on its own. Matching the position matters too, since the top and bottom gratings aren't interchangeable in these units.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne thing worth knowing about absorption fridges like these. They cool differently than the compressor fridge in your kitchen. There's no fan forcing air around. Cold settles and circulates on its own, slowly, which is exactly why the internal layout matters so much. The gratings space your food so that cold air can fall and drift the way the design intends. Cram everything onto one solid surface and you'll get warm spots. Keep the proper shelving in place and the box cools evenly, top to bottom. So this shelf isn't just cosmetic. It's part of how the fridge is supposed to perform.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWho needs this? Anyone keeping an older RMD8551 or RMD8555 in service. These fridges have been in boats and campers for years, and the plastic gratings are one of the first things to show age, especially on a boat where constant motion and the occasional heavy grocery haul work a shelf harder than it would at home. Rather than replace a fridge that still cools fine, a lot of owners just refresh the interior parts. This is one of those parts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOrdering is straightforward. This is Dometic part 241398110, manufacturer number 2413981107. If your fridge is an RMD8551 or an RMD8555, it's the right upper grating. Not sure which model you've got? The number is on the data plate inside the fridge, usually on a side wall near the top. Match it to the two models listed here and you're set. And if you need gaskets, the lower shelf, or other interior pieces for the same RMD series, reach out and we'll help you order it all at once.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"nvn-features\"\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eGenuine Dometic OEM upper grating, part 241398110, for an exact fit with no trimming or drilling\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFits both the Dometic RMD8551 and RMD8555 refrigerators, so one part covers either model\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eShips complete as the full upper grating assembly, not a partial repair piece\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHolds food and drinks off the cooling surface so chilled air circulates the way the fridge was designed to run\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eDrops into the same position as the original shelf for a straightforward, tool-free swap\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCovers the upper shelf position, and pairs with the separately sold lower shelf for a full interior refresh\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"nvn-trust\"\u003e\n  \u003ch2\u003eWhy Buy from NVN Marine\u003c\/h2\u003e\n  \u003cul\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eAuthorized Dometic reseller, full manufacturer warranty\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eNMEA member and ABYC certified, advice from real boat techs\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eSame-day shipping before 3 PM ET on in-stock items\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eNY headquarters and Fort Lauderdale flagship retail store\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"nvn-faq\"\u003e\n  \u003cdetails\u003e\n    \u003csummary\u003eWhich refrigerators does this upper grating fit?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eIt's made for the Dometic RMD8551 and RMD8555 refrigerators.
