Fridge repair

[nicklee]

Hello everyone
My 3 way fridge has stopped working on gas and I'm told its a common fault and needs a replacement part.
I'm also told regular service folks supplier doesn't have the part.
It is a dated fridge but can anyone help with suggestions as to where I might try to find the part needed . Have the strong impression my usual fix it folk have not tried too hard to find one x

It might help if you provide some information about the refrigerator. Make and model most importantly. What you have asked is like asking “the alternator on my older car isn’t working. Does anyone know where I can find a replacement!”

I had good luck ordering from a supplier in the UK. There are several. Some ship to the US and some don't. Took about 10 days to get the part but it was a third of the price from a supplier in the US. My part was a new burner assembly for a Dometic RM8551. One word of caution though, the Model number is not as important as the Production number in sourcing the correct part. That information should be on a sticker inside the fridge.

Thank you. I'll check the sticker

Electrolux, my friend gave this to me a long time ago.
