Dometic Refrigerator quit

My refrigerator quit and I have determined that it needs a Dinosaur board.. However I haven't been able to find out which board to buy for a RM 3962.Any help is appreciated..

    Checked for incoming power --good,,out from board--none..


    The original Dometic board in my unit only has one fuse, but the Dinosaur replacement board has two - one regular glass fuse and one automotive blade fuse. When the blade fuse went out on mine I had no power at all.

    If you determine that you really need the Micro P-711 board which appears to be used on some of the 3862 units, send me a PM. I have a brand new one I can send you - I ordered the wrong part. LOL



    The 2 fuses are:
    Glass fuse---slow burn----AC Heater Circuit
    Automotive Blade Type.....DC Control Circuit


    Per Dinosaur Electronics
    *Warning: The Micro P-711 CANNOT replace any Black Box Board part number that starts with "385"!


    Dinosaur Board for your RM3962 Model Fridge may not be available

    Confirm with Dino!!!!



    You may have to use OEM for replaceement-----$166
