Does anyone know what this is?

I just picked up a 2017 Forester 2251SLE and am getting to know it (long time travel trailer guy, haven't had a Class C in a looong time). Anyway, I found this blue plastic thing in a storage area but have no idea what it is. It says Dometic on it, so I was thinking maybe something for the fridge, but Dometic obviously makes other products... Anyway, if anyone recognizes this (pic attached) and can shed some light on it, I'd appreciate it.

Yep, Dometic fridge door clips.
Should be shown in your fridge's owners manual.

I'm not sure when they started putting those gadgets in trailers - our 2010 Jayco didn't come with them - but they are handy little gadgets!

Our 2006 Puma had them and pretty sure our 1988 Terry did as well.

I don't want to start another discussion but why is this always pointed out. It does not serve any purpose.

v908, I figure a video always helps, .... this guy sounds like he's about to fall asleep, but he does get the point across of how to use it on the fridge, ....

It serves one purpose: anyone who reads that a PDI wasn't done well will be sure to ask more questions when they go through a PDI.

Exactly! Part of the purpose of the Forum is for newbies to learn from the bad experiences of others.
