I do not know enough about your fridge but I will make this comment.
Dometic (And Norcold as well) uses two diferent ignition/sense systems
Single wire and double wire.
The Single wire ignightor can be made to work on BOTH systems, but the double wire ignightor WILL NOT WORK on the single wire system.
here is way.
The Double wire job, the flame sensor is the 2nd wire, a second "rod" (Thermocouple) that is heated by the flame.
The Single wire model, the single rod does both jobs, it lights the fire, and it senses the fire,, and the control board (OEM) flakes the switch and pops a chip, so the replacement board (Dinosaur) has a neat little gas discharge tube to prevent that from happening.
