Refir Ammonia Leak

I posted earlier about my Norcold N841 refir catching on fire. It's going to be $300 in parts to repair, or $1100 to just buy a new fridge. It's only 4 years old, so hate to replace it if it's not needed.

I was concerned there may of been an ammonia leak, can anyone with experience give their opinion? It's installed in a houseboat at Lake Powell, and I have not been there since before the fire. The owner (shared ownership) that was there, said there was no smell of ammonia.

In the pictures at the link below, the soot looks yellow to me, I've heard an ammonia leak is yellow.

Any thoughts, should I just replace the whole thing?

Thanks,
Jim

What is the $300 in parts?

From the picture the Cooling Unit is Good
What I see is a burnt up control module/AC Power cord
Looks like AC Power cord shorted at connection on circuit board and burnt.

Replace the Control Module, the AC Power cord and maybe some wiring repairs (leads to AC heat Element, DC wiring and maybe wiring at Gas Valve) and S/B good to go

Norcold N84X parts....just need to use correct serial number to ID which part numbers

Don't see any evidence of cooling unit leaking.....typically that would be around burner area (yellowish residue) or on boiler section where AC Element Holder is welded to perk tube.

Examples of yellowish residue
