Hey everyone, thanks much for all the suggestions. It has been very helpful.
Joe may be right, hit 37 here last night. The last 10 days we used it as an ice box and it worked OK.
We almost always boondock and don't have solar so the compressor type fridge is not an option.
I've checked the recall list and ours isn't on it.
Also checked Craigslist but didn't find anything there.
It looks like a new cooling unit or fridge are the only options. Dealer wants two grand for a new fridge if they don't have to take the door out. Then its more. They want 1,500 for a new cooling unit installed.
After all your suggestions I think I will try to do it myself. I'll use it as an icebox for the camping we have left and then this winter I'll pull it out and see if it will fit through the door. If it won't without major destruction I'll replace the cooling unit.
Thanks again for all the help,
Chuck

Chuck, you won't need a fridge till next spring, as I was talking to a friend in Nenana today and was told there had been frost for the last couple of mornings. Just wait till next summer. LOL
