Gas Valve Solenoid on Dometic RM 763 Fridge
I smelled propane and went hunting armed with a trusty spray bottle filled with soapy water. I found a leak on the housing of the propane/gas valve/solenoid in the rear of the fridge (Dometic RM 763).

I believe this is the original valve for this fridge based on what I've read. I also assume the valve is obsolete because of (more recent) Dometic field service articles referring to a "new" Weber gas valve.
Can someone confirm that the original valve is unserviceable?
I see a kit available on clearance from Camping World which includes: Gas Valve/Solenoid. Circuit Board. Thermocouple. Bracket. Installation Instructions. Ground Terminal

I already have a relatively new fridge controller card from Dinosaur Electronics (MICRO P-1338 REV 5) which supports the Weber valve. I can make a bracket for the new valve. So my preference is to purchase the Weber valve only.
If you've tackled this specific 'upgrade/repair' I'd love to hear from you.
