I would check for all the recalls first, then take and combine the size of my wallet, how handy I am with tools and repairing things, where you camp the most, the size of the fridge and how much solar I have to decide what I was going to do next.
If you do mostly campground, then a residential 110V refrigerator makes good sense.
If you boondock (no hookups) you are going to need to look at either repairing/replacing the existing unit or beef up your batteries, solar and/or generator.
If you dont have a lot of solar right now, and/or your wallet is tight, you probably want to look at the replacement cooling units and get it repaired.
If you have solar and good batteries, you can look at going with either a residental 110V unit and an inverter or a 12 volt compressor version (and skip the inverter).
That is pretty well all your options.
On a side note, I have been saving up my pennies, nickels and dimes in preparation for my unit to fail. It is 11 years old and a bit rusty. So I am saving up for a 12 volt compressor model.
