I have replaced three cooling units on older trailers I had.
Each time I was faced with the same price ratio that you are; new cooling unit was far less than half the cost of the whole fridge.
It worked out great for us every time. I had no other surprise repairs on those refers and they all worked fine until we sold the rigs. FWIW, there isn't much in the way of other thigs to fail on the older ones. Not much electronics, etc.
Even if a sparker or something else fails, they're cheap and easy.
But that never happened to us.
Good luck,
Scott
