Please bear with me on this. Bit of a long story.
Back in August at the Malvern show we had our 8 yr old dometic tower unit serviced by their (Dometic) on site engineer. As part of the service, the nice guy changed a part which we now know to be called the burner (i have included a picture)
All was well for the rest of the year.
In december we had the van serviced and a hab check done. Unbeknown to us the idiot left the fridge searching for gas instead of on the leisure battery. We switched the gas bottles off as we werent using the van for a while. I didnt notice the click click noise driving the van home from the service due to engine noise and the usual rattles.
On setting off on our first trip in a while i discovered the problem. I have contacted a mobile dometic approved engineer local to me a few times but he is either too busy or cant be bothered to help me, so just fobs me off.
Being the hoarder that i am, i kept the old part from Malvern and swapped it back today. Lo and behold it is working again on gas. However as the Malvern engineer stated, it could fail at any time (He was surprised it had lasted the 8 years) so We have spent today trying to source a new replacement for as and when the inevitable occurs.
Leisureshop direct inform us that they have contacted dometic and cant get the part as the fridge is "obsolete"
We have seen the part we need on leisurespares.co.uk website but they supply to trade only we believe. In addiiton, they also may not actually have the part. We will be contacting them tomorrow as we have the part number from their website, but are concerned that if they dont have the part we are in trouble. Wild camping and rallys will be a no no in the warmer weather.
Is anyone able to recommend suppliers for dometic fridge parts Or any helpful suggestions, they could share that would be most useful.
IF they (Leisure spares.co.uk) do have the parts but will only supply to trade, are any MH fun trade members able to order the part for us?
Our fridge is a Dometic RMT7655L

Please note taking it back to the man that did the hab check is not possible as he has emigrated.
