I had an electrical part fail on my 2006 Tundra fridge after about two years. I called the manufacture and they had me check to see if the fan was working which it was, then he had me check to see if the compressor was hot or cool, it was cool which means there is a problem, it should be warm to the touch.
They sent me out a new board that I replaced in a few minutes and it has been good ever since.
I wish I could be more help as far as names or models for the unit that was replaced.
Every trip I make and I turn the fridge on the day before I have my fingers crossed that it will fire up. Other than that it has been a great fridge.
Have you contacted Bob at Outfitter, he might have some info on who to contact.

Paul,

Thanks for the background. Hopefully it was the exact help I needed.

I ended up calling Dometic Marine since they list the tundra as a marine application. They refered me to a company called AAP at 804-633-9454 located in Milford VA. Talked to a gentelman there who said that most cases where the fan comes on but the compressor doesn't, it is the cirucit card you described. The card is the "speed control" card for the compressor. $11 for the card, it will be shipped tomorrow and I should have Friday evening since they are only 60 miles or so down the road from me (but one hell of a pain to drive down and pick up myself with the traffice we have around here.).

Fingers crossed that it is that card.

Thanks for the contact info on the circuit board. I will likely order one as a spare even though i haven't had any trouble with mine. The other thing you might check is the fuse in circuit panel under the dinette table. Although it still should have come on with shore power plugged in anyway. ...just a thought. Let us know if the circuit board does the trick. Good luck :B
