I had the same problem. I have an XLII so my coach is different. My refrigerator decided to expire 3 days before Branson. I was able to pull mine out so a repairman could look at it and diagnosed a compressor and he wasn't going to guarantee the repair. So I decided to replace the unit. Since my coach is an XLII, I was able to replace the unit without removing the windshield by buying a counter depth refrig.and removing the refrigerator doors and carefully walking it out thru the door. Finding the refrigerator with the right dimensions was something else. My understanding is removing the windshield (I'm sure Jon and other POGGERS can fill you in) is not a big deal on your coach. Bottom line if it can be repaired in the coach and you feel comfortable with the repair do it, if not replace the unit, it will give you peace of mind in the future.
