2012 Dometic Fridge Help

I just was told that my refrigerator is obsolete and parts are no longer made. It is in my 17' Casita Spirit Deluxe and is a 2012 model. It needs two parts, a valve of some kind and an electronic panel. But, the repair guy cheerily said, "It works on electric power." I have the part numbers written down.

Is there anywhere that has a good parts supply? If not, would I order a new fridge from Casita?

I'm not going back to the repair place. The inside of my trailer smelled like farts, cologne and grease. I've aired it out. Bleccch!

Anyhow, sources of parts would be welcome info.

A few years ago I replaced the control board in my fridge. Super easy and not all that expensive. I ordered a replacement through these people.

my dometic fridge did the same thing one month after the warranty expired. Dealership where I bought the unit new said the "motherboard had delaminated" Offered to sell me a replacement (same board that failed). I found out that the motherboard came from off shore and often fell apart after a year or two.
Dinosaur had a "made in America" motherboard for HALF the price. It fit perfectly and worked perfectly and still does. That was 15 years ago!

Dinosaur would be my go to place, I replaced the control board two times in two years with OEM part on my furnace.in our Scamp. Replacement Dinosaur board is now well over ten years old with lots of use
