Hey Marty! Yes, the Norcold RV Mini Fridge w/ Built-In Freezer # NC97VR is a good replacement for your DC0051. It will fit in the same space since they share the same dimensions at 18-1/2" wide x 20-1/2" tall x 21-1/16" deep. Also yes, the door can be reversed, see the attached picture from the installation manual.

What trip are you planning next once you replace your fridge?

Hey Marty, how did the swap to the Norcold mini fridge go? Did the reversible door setup work out the way you wanted? Your update could make it easier for the next person replacing their DC0051.

Hey Robin - I haven’t had a chance to make the swap yet. It’s very cold where I live and winter will be with me for another couple of months. I’ll let you know when it’s done and running. Cheers.
