    Much cheaper to FIX it, and probably pretty simple.  Refrigerators are actually pretty basic.   
    Ughhhh I dont even want to think about that. All the "repair kits" were 1000ish. 

    At least check the power supply and make sure it's nothing basic.  If your fridge has a fan then check that too...very cheap to replace.

    DC seems to work, AC doesn't. Verified the outlet works and that it is getting power to the circuit board... whatever is going on in the circuit board isn't doing what it needs to do. 

    At this point it looks like a new circuit board, seeing prices from 75 to 200.. had a 100 dollar walmart gift card... this is pretty close to the same size, will just need a little wood trim or something. Didn't want to mess with replacing parts on a super old fridge and I will never need the DC side of it..

    Found some rotted wood in the engine room rear wall! The transom is at least 6 feet to the rear from this wall, still no good! On the flip side, maybe this will provide the access to the pipe that's leaking, which is the white one against the wall there.. 

    Up top, pushed my finger through it..

    AC leak has been located.  :o

    Ripped out some dead wood in the back of the engine room. This is the worst of the worst.. 



    It does feel like it could possibly go to the fiber glass hull, in this picture the hull is on the other side of that pipe.

    It also feels like it might go down to the bottom as well, but this was the easy part to pull out.

    That wood still has a few seasons left in it.

    If it's wood rot, you have to work back until you find solid wood with no rot.  Otherwise, the rot will keep spreading.  Any wood that you can easily scrape away with a screwdriver has to go!  

    I just went through a similar issue with my galley subfloor.  After I carved it back down to wood with no rot, I treated everything with a heavy dose of Varathane High Performance Wood Hardener.  Contrary to their marketing claims, it does not "add" strength.  But it does saturate and encapsulate the wood, so it will help arrest rot (assuming I fix the moisture issue).  

    BTW you'll need good ventilation to use that product!
