That picture is so large I can't see it all at once, but "yellow buildup" on a fridge says, to me, that you had a leak in the lines (ammonia) and need a new mechanism or a new fridge.
I'm sure others will be along with more info, but you could help them by cutting the pixel size of you pic to, say 900x600 or such, and by telling what fridge (brand and model) you have. While it probably wouldn't make much difference in this case, putting your RV type/model in your signature can be very helpful in getting help on many problems.

Yeah, Larry is right. It looks like an ammonia leak from the heating coils. Can't repair, the only fix is a new heating unit, a new propane refer, or an new residential refer. Depends on how often you camp without being plugged in. If you dry camp a lot, then a propane refer makes sense. If you are usually plugged in, then a residential refer is a lot cheaper.
but thanks for the info

As others have said, the fridge cooling unit is shot.
Out of curiosity, who told you the board went out, the seller of your trailer, or did you have the fridge diagnosed?

I went ahead and resized it so folks can 'see' what's being discussed.

There is also the option of converting the existing refrigerator to a DC compressor operation using a conversion kit like shown in this video
