Dometic DMC4101 Problem

I have the above 12V fridge and the evaporator freezer fan stopped working.  Blue blinking light in fridge compartment.  From my searches I have found that this is either a fan failure  (4453000635) or the Control bd failure (4453000636).  No one has this fan in stock and I have been able to locate a Control Board. (Have tried like motors to no avail.) I have sent Dometic a message several weeks ago and have not heard back from them.  I have had some minor problems before with this unit but have been able to address them. The company does NOT support their products by having parts available.  I am almost at the point of chucking this 2 yr. old fridge and getting a Residential.

Two points: 1.   Do not purchase this product and 2, does anyone have luck with a Residental Fridge.....10 cu.  Model and make please.  I am a full timer, basically hooked up to shore power at my site most of the time.  It is a good thing this did not happen on the road.

I personally, will never buy another Dometic product other than the toilet I have which works well. (no joke intended)

    doing a search on the internet all I can find is how highly regarded this fridge is on review sites. 

    I find it hard to believe that there are no parts available to purchase for a fridge that is still current, but having said that, ya a residential fridge would make more sense for you.  its a bit of work doing the conversion but you end up with more fridge space, well maybe not with a 12v compressor conversion.  but if you have an issue, you will have the same issue of parts shortages so be ready for that.  I found getting my house fridge serviced was way harder than the rv due to the parts shortages with LG, Panasonic and Samsung.
