They are availible but just get a new refrigerator. I have done it once and bad experience with supplier. Never again.
Wow! It's unfortunate that your repair attempt didn't work out. I've done it (Dometic 2652) and it worked out fine. Thousands of others have also done it and it worked out fine for them. That's why there is a "refurbish" market out there.
Without more details on your specific case, . . . . well what can anyone say? It's not an option for everyone, and, not a good option in every case, but, it is still an option. That's all I'm saying. Everyones experience/budget/ability varies.
