Dometic Refer Parts

So I have Exhausted all avenues of approach here on locating parts for my Dometic Side by Side Model # 7130 (#7030 same) and wondered if anyone knows the Magic Place to obtain a new Door Handle for this? I have called FT, Dometic, PPL, Camping World,  All Seasons (1-574-293-4591 Very Helpful, and knowledgeable!) and an Internet search!  They all come up Empty Handed!  Gotta Love Planned Obsolescence! Anyway, the P/N# is 193-139-8020. It is Grey, but will buy two, as they are Interchangeable L&R. The Fridge still Works Great, but even though the Boss wants a New Fridge, I would like to wait until I make the Right Decision there!  The Passenger side Windshield has to be removed regardless if it is R&R'd, so before I shell out, $3K+, I'd like to have the Handle replaced.  If I do find one, I will Replace the Gaskets, and Repair/Replace the Icemaker, as well?  Any Info towards my Goals here is Much Appreciated!

You might want to do a Google search for "used Dometic 7130 parts".
Here are some handles from Amazon...

Maybe James at Extreme Graphics has an old fridge laying around from a conversion?

Also keep trying anyone who does conversions.

Thanks All! I have an update to a possible Source, that I just received in an Email! It said....."In order for us to pull up a breakdown of the Refrigerator we would need the product number that is located on the inside door. It should start with a 921 or 958.
If you can send us that number we will take it from there."  This was Dyer's RV Parts, BTW!

Now, my Problem there, is that that Sticker does Not Exist, anywhere, that I found?  But I was thinking, if someone with My Year, Model, and Same Refrigerator, would be so kind to look in theirs and tell me what that Number is in theirs, it just might be my Pot - O - Gold?  Armed with that Info, I would be much closer to locating it, as even the Manufacturer said that could help find it, if it happened to be Superceded, with another Part # Perhaps?  I do not have that, currently, so if someone could help me out....that would be excellent!

I may need that Number Also, when I call around to the Excellent places mentioned above, Tomorrow, as that is what I keep getting asked?  Thanks!

 I called a Place, and was told that these are Obsolete, and that Someone put some Parts up on eBay, and Handles were Going for $100.00 Each, because the Manufacturers quit Stocking them!  Well, somebody came along and decided to rock the Market, by 3D Printing them and Selling the same ones for $6.00 Each!  The Bottom then dropped out of the Overpriced used ones at that point!  He was not sure who did that printing, but I wondered if i should go that Route?  I will do a Search for someone who Performs that Service, but does anyone happen to have a 3D Printer, in this Group?  Would you be So Kind as to Print me up one, and I'll pay what is needed for 2 of them, so I have a Spare, as well? Or if someone uses those Services, can recommend someone with a Printer, Perhaps? It seems that handle is Not to be Found, anywhere???  Thanks!

I'd like to see a pic of that handle, Dometic was infamous for their crappy handles. Our fresher Dometic (2009) one door, has been fine, but you know, after so many handle failures, we are VERY CAREFUL opening and closing!

We have the same fridge.  Tried everywhere to find new latches---- they just are not available.  The door gasket is magnetic and will keep the door closed while you are parked.  What we did was install a walnut wood block just below the bottom of the door with a turn latch for each door that we use when underway.  Has worked extremely well for the last 2 years.

Well, I found a Printer, about 1.5 hours away from me, I take a Pic of the Good one, he sends me an estimate, he prints it, I come and pick it up!  Or he can send them to me!  Easy Peasy......haven't gotten the Estimate, as yet, though?  If I decide to do it, I can post his Address on here, if anyone wants it?  I looked quite a Long time, until I found him, though!  You'd think that Places that Do Paper Prints, Etc. would get on the Bandwagon and buy a Printer?  Has to good Money in it?  I will probably ask for it done in Nylon!  Ever see a Nylon Comb break, huh?  Nope, neither have I?

I am going to do that Very Same Thing, also!  If the Handle is too expensive, that is my Alternative!  Thanks!  If Not, and you want one, I will add an additional Print, to my order, and send you one? I was Considering this Latch, actually, but it may slip down, while the Coach is in Motion? Could you let me know what you used please?
