Our Fridge freezer has stopped working, we need to replace quickly or there will be no chilled wine or beer for our holiday next week. We need to find somewhere with a dometic 8555 in stock any help would be appreciated.

Bumping this for emergency purposes.

No cool wine or beer is worse than a reversing camera packing up.

Good luck.

No but hubby phoned one and went through it. It's stopped working on gas, battery and electric, the burners working, the 110 working but there is no circulation due to leakage of ammonia diagnosed by crystallised yellow powder round the boiler tube.

I guess you have ruled out trying to get it repaired? You could trying ringing them directly and see if they can find one for you: http://www.dometic.co.uk/service/contact/
They are just up the road from you!
None in stock and only one in Germany and will take 3 weeks to get here (n)

Excuse my ignorance but would it not be possible to get in touch with a refrigeration engineer and get the pipe repaired and the unit re-gassed?

Not possible to re gas 3 way fridges, once the ammonia's gone the unit is kaput and very expensive.

Our cooling unit was also obsolete so had no choice other than a new fridge but found anywhere that was cheaper had to order in .. so we had next day delivery , the driver even helped us to get the new fridge into the van which was a great help
Hope you get sorted soon

All that French cheese and German sausage plus beer and wine not cold may be a smelly option in the hot weather I hope you are sorted soon.:(
