Just get the fridge cool fan from:

Ouch!  $41!  It is a very close replacement for
the original Dometic fan.

That's what I did a few years ago when my twin
muffin fans didn't work as well as the original
Dometic.

I think you need to move the new fan motor to the
old mounting bracket or adapt the new one or
something, but you can figure that out.  I do
remember that I used the original thermo switch and
not the Valterra one.
