Discontinued control board

[Lynn9577]

Unfortunately bees got into our control board & it fried it on our Dometic refrigerator. We can’t find it anywhere, apparently they stopped making it a couple months ago according to General RV (they called Dometic and they said they quit making it). I’ve been searching and can’t seem to find it. There is one site that claims to have it but it is a scam site called parksccd. Anyone happen to know where I can find it? I’ve contacted Dinosaur and so far no leads there either. Dometic said the part # for it is #3851005029. Anyone have any other ideas? I’ve tried several salvage yards and no luck. Refrigerator model # is RM3962 We are trying to avoid the huge expense of a new fridge at the moment. Thanks!

In my fruitless efforts over the years and with various Dometic refers, to work better than an old fashioned ice-chest in the summer in the SW I fiddled with the control boards replacing some of them with Dinosaur boards. I've got a new Dino P-711 (P7109231) sitting on the self that indicates it is a replacement for Dometic with model or serial numbers above 285... Also have a Domentic control board with part number 3850712-01. Both are working boards. You might call Dino and check to see if they can confirm that the P-711 I have will work, if so let me know. Ditto on the Dometic board.

I second this. Dinosaur boards are far superior to the original Dometic boards. I would choose them even if a Dometic board was available.

In the OP's original post, he says he contacted Dinosaur and they didn't have it.

Try the Amish in Shipshewana, Indiana, at National Refrigeration. Talk to Vernon. They had one for my 1 1/2 year old Dometic that just totally died. NO ONE had the board for it. But in the end I decided to replace it since the line had been discontinued and Dometic no longer was making parts. A new scratch and dent (can't see any blemishes) was $1000 including the kit to swing the door the other way. The price included $195 to removed and dispose of the old and install the new Norcold. I live in Florida as well and drove to Indiana as I have family here as well.

But they will ship you parts.

They are rebuilders, NOT individual component part stockers or suppliers. Doug

I didn't say they stock parts, but they DID have the control boards (2 in fact) for my Dometic. The only other two my mobile guy found were in Poland and Nova Scotia. And they do keep a stock of refrigerators that are takeouts from other units. Someone orders but wants a residential so they take the other out, etc. They do rebuild the cooling units, but they also sell new refrigerators and A/C units. I was just there and they swapped out my non-working Dometic for a new Norcold that slid into the same space.

We have done business with National Refrigeration since 2008. They also install the ARP system.

There is not much in RV's that I am fond of, junk, garbage, **** are terms I can relate to. If my fridge went out. Fridge is only 2 years old, so I can count on it for another 2 or 3 years. I would find a 120 volt model install it. With an inverter and add a house battery or 2.

Dometic went to hell in a handbasket over the course of the last 10 years or so. They used to be great, they made great products and SUPPORTED them. Not no more, in fact not for a long time.

They made a fridge which they pushed to a lot of builders starting @ 2015, Model DMR702. Actually they had it made in China, then slapped their name on it. That fridge was put in 10's of 1000's of units made by Rockwood/Flagstaff and some others from 2015 until at least 2020, maybe longer. It was a piece of junk. A defroster heater to keep frost from building up on the cabinet face between the Fridge and Freezer would overheat, and melt the cabinet. When the fridge was shut down, if any ice in the freezer melted the water could make its way into where the eyebrow board is located and would destroy the eyebrow board. Dometic stopped making, or having those eyebrow boards made, long ago. The handles would break almost just by looking at them. Garbage, not unlike their AC units which are also junk, and every other thing they're associated with.

I had to get one for my brand new Dometic back in 2019. Costs a bit more now than it did back then.. I think I only paid $100 for it back then.. Got it from the Jungle store. Looks like it's still in stock if it's one of these model numbers.
