2000 Sundancer 340 cockpit fridge

[Peter Z]

I have the original Norcold DE-451 that I am looking to replace in the cockpit. Has anyone replaced this with a fridge that will be a direct replacement without having to cut or alter anything?

I replaced mine last year for the same one to avoid any issues, but wondering what’s out there that doesn’t require any adjustments

One option for drop I replacement is the west marine universal 2.7, about. 1049$ Check the 320 Sundancer thread, I posted a link near the end.

Vitrifigo. More cubic ft inside than Norcold and direct drop in replacement with Norcold flange kit. See pics

Thanks Arnie, I actually did that fridge last year and it went perfect. This is my cockpit fridge that I need now.

I ended up purchasing the new Norcold NR751BB. I was told this replaces the 451 exactly. When I put the fridge in the trim seems smaller than my original. Has anyone had this issue? Can the old flange go on the new fridge?

Hi Arnie,

Am I clear that you used the Vitrifrigo - C115IBD4-F-1 to replace your Norcold DE541, and it was a perfect fit with existing flange kit? I have a 330 EC and everything I have read sounds like a nightmare removing and bringing new unit through the cabin door. Did you have any issues with this?

Jeff,

What did you end up going with? I have a 1998 EC that I need to replace the DE541
