Norcold DC740 DC-Only Marine Refrigerator, 1.7 Cubic Foot, Black or Stainless Steel Front
The Norcold DC740 is a compact, DC-only built-in refrigerator engineered for boats, RVs, and other 12V/24V DC installations where AC shore power isn't guaranteed. With 1.7 cubic feet of interior capacity, a Danfoss BD35 compressor, and a low draw of just 3.6 amps at 12V DC (1.8 amps at 24V DC), the DC740 keeps food and drinks cold without straining your house battery bank. It's a direct replacement for the earlier Norcold 0740 and NR740 series, dropping into the same cutout with no cabinetry rework required. Choose the finish that matches your galley: a classic Black front for a clean built-in look, or a Stainless Steel front for a brighter, more upscale appearance.

Sizes & Options
Both versions of the DC740 share identical dimensions, capacity, power draw, and cutout compatibility -- the only difference is the front finish. Pick Black Front (DC740BB) for a traditional built-in appliance look, or Stainless Steel Front (DC740SS) if you want a refrigerator front that matches stainless trim, sinks, or appliances elsewhere in your galley. Either way, installation and performance are the same.
