    Not surprisingly, the cover on the refrigerator roof vent got brittle and cracked. I can buy this Dometic replacement on Amazon but am here to ask if anyone has had better success with a different brand. Do any last longer than the OEM Dometic?

    roof vent hinge repair?

That latch is pretty tight (maybe corroded?) and requires a lot of pressure on the crank to get it seated. As a result of that pressure on the crank...

I used the following door from Lowes: JELD-WEN 6 Panel Pine...
