Hello Friday list;
Posting this for a friend. Not for Vanagon, but a domestic 23' rv called a Clarion. A very rare camper, I think there are only 40 members on their yahoo group. 
Thanks,

"Looking for a thermostat assembly for our Norcold DE 540 refrigerator.  
 
I found a place online that has a kit updating all the electronics for $400 but I really only need a new thermostat.  I had jumpered the switch wires in the control box and the system cools fine otherwise.  
 
The technician I spoke with said the electronics have has some problems and they redesigned the whole power supply.  The closed cooling system itself is overbuilt and may last forever.  So maybe I should get the kit.  
 
Having a hard time finding just the thermostat assembly online.  
 
Or maybe swap the whole refr for another used one for less money than the kit.  I found a new refr discounted to about $700 somewhere online.   Just don't want to spend any more than I have to. 
 
Any resources for the parts?  
 
By the way, you must slip off door frame rubber seal to get this refrigerator out the entry door.
