Sorry, I wasn't clear on that.  The fridge door is fine.  It's the hatch
outside I need a replacement for.  The fridge says Dometic 211.  Is that the
same or a different model from most of the fridges? This looks like the
original setup unless someone went to a lot of trouble to relocate the
controls etc. into that area.  The grate above the hatch says Dometic on it
as well.

Thanks for any help,

It looks to me like you have a different refrigerator model than came in
most
Westies.  Maybe someone replaced it at some point.  If you find out what
model the refrigerator is, it's possible you can get a replacement door from
either the refrigerator manufacturer or an RV shop.
