I replaced every part on my +20/yr-old Norcold 621 including the cooling unit. Some parts were replaced twice or more. Last Fall the ignitor went. Yes, I could have bought another one for about $100, but this would have been the fourth or fifth ignitor that this fridge has had. I was done putting good money into bad. I sold the cooling unit and every working component to offset my costs. The scrap man got the rest. I bought a $299 10.1 cu-ft residential fridge of the same dimensions and never looked back.
Okay - an experience at the other side of the spectrum. With all due respect, I hope my experience is better :)
