Todd,
Michael was spot on as usual. We can do some additional arm chair dianosis if after you try some things on the unit. I strongly suggest that you invest a a quality voltmeter with a clamp on ammeter. It is an invaluable tool for sorting out issues on the rig.
The issue could be as simple as a loose connection, a bad start capacitor, or as nasty as a siezed compressor. It can all be fixed.
I was able to source the fan motor from Newell last year, I don't know if that supply is now dry. I was under the impression that Newell had batches of them made from time to time.
Also, the Dometic boards have a known weakness with the relay that powers the compressor. We can walk you through the diagnostics when you get the rig.
