Hello, everybody, this is Jeff at etrailer.com. Today I'm gonna take a look at this Dometic Water Heater Door Conversion Kit for the 6 Gallon Electric and Gas Water Heater. Now, this Conversion Door Kit will fit the Dometic Atwood water heater, part number WH-6GEA, which we do sell separately on our website. It'll include the door, the side brackets, and the mounting hardware. Basically, when you're using that heater in place of the original Atwood Suburban water heater, it has a larger cut-out, so you do need this conversion kit. Since that Atwood Suburban water heater is a larger size, this kit will include the two side brackets that'll help fill in the opening when using a smaller size Dometic Atwood heater.
The door width on this is 18 1/2 inches. Overall height is 14 7/8 inches. The side brackets will add about 2 5/8 inches on each one. So basically, what'll happen is this door will attach to your newer heater, and then these side brackets will fill in the opening. You can see they are a nice glossy black finish.
Now, it is a metal construction. Now, this is in a black finish. They do also sell it in a white finish. We do sell that separately with the brackets. They're on our website.
They go by part number of DMC84FR, and they are also listed on this product page as a related product. That should do it for our look at this Dometic Water Heater Door Conversion Kit for the 6 Gallon Electric and Gas Water Heater.
This is a redesign of the extended door for the Dometic hot water heater, which is used when the Dometic replaces an Atwood heater. (The Dometic is smaller than the Atwood.) The original extended door only has one latch, so in high crosswinds, the wind can get behind the door on the highway and bend/fold it over. This redesign has 2 latches which make the door much more wind-resistant. My new door from etrailer arrived damaged but I was able to straighten it out. Very easy to install. etrailer was very responsive and gave a partial refund to compensate for the damage.
Initially I was worried about whether all my existing wires would correctly line up with the wires on the new unit since my old unit was discontinued. It was perfect. The water intake and outflow on the new unit was aligned differently so I had to get a couple of fittings and crimping tool... Was in the end a jiff to install and worked perfectly. Just remember to always winterize from now on lol. I highly recommend the products I purchased.
We had to replace our 3 year old water heater but the manufacturer changed the exterior dimensions. Our installer could not find this door conversion kit but etrailer.com had the part in stock. I called to confirm the stock status and our sales representative went above and beyond to insure our order shipped quickly and notified us when it arrived. Great job etrailer.com and Caroline! Much appreciated.
This product allowed me to adapt from the now defunct odd 12x16 inch opening to a now standard 12x12 opening. Works great, easy to install and made for a clean finish.
Etrailer was able to deliver this piece in a timely fashion, when one else could. Bravo!
I like that if I'm unsure about a product the etrailers videos ensure this is what I need
Easy to follow installation instructions and works great
This is what we needed to install our new replacement Hot Water Heater in our Class A Motorhome.. It fits well. It works well..
I'm having a company in my area install a water heater using this door on oct 4 I will let you know how it fits after they install it. the item came to me with no damage and on time thanks for the great service. I will purchase from you again.
The door can work fine but unfortunately the one I received wouldn’t accept the hinge assembly on the left side. The rolled metal tube was not formed properly and by the time I was able to get the hinge pin in the tube the hinge pin broke.
Products were excellent, installation was a snap.
These black doors are more flimsy than the white and do not fit flush on the RV without a bit of "shaping". Otherwise they are great.
Easy install, great product, still working great.
1 year and so far working perfectly
Arrived separately from heater which was not optimal for my schedule. But it fits well
Item was damaged during shipping and returned for refund/replacement.
Very nice best price and fast shipping
Perfect fit
