gas mode
note: all current dometic control boards are 

3  try  systems  in  the  gas  mode.  there  is  a 

2 minute purge cycle between each trial for 

ignition. flame failure could take 6 to 7 min-

utes.

Verify that the following components are good, upper cir-

cuit control boards, thermistor, wire harness and 3-amp 

fuse. First, check for voltage during 

trial-for-ignition

 at 

Plug 3, Terminals 1 (white Wire -) and 2 (yellow wire +) to 

the igniter and solenoid. If no voltage is present change 

the  circuit  board.  If  voltage  is  present,  check  for  volt-

age at the igniter and solenoid. If no voltage is present, 

check the wires. To check the flame sense circuit of the 

lower circuit board, operate the refrigerator on GAS and 

measure the millivolts between J4 (NEGATIVE) terminal 

and J10 (POSITIVE) connection from the thermocouple. 

The thermocouple should produce 20 millivolts minimum. 

Anything less than 20 millivolts will cause erratic gas op-

eration.  The millivolts meter should read between 25 to 

35 millivolts with the gas flame burning. When the power 

module senses the loss of flame (thermocouple millivolts 

below 13 MVDC) the 45 seconds trial for ignition period is 

started. Turning the refrigerator OFF–ON while operating 

in the gas mode may cause a check light.

note: a loose ground will create erratic or 

no gas operation.

5.10 door Switch

The door switch is an open switch when the switch arm 

is depressed (interior light should be off). When the re-

frigerator door is open the switch is closed (interior light 

should be on). Check that the switch assembly is properly 

aligned and that it is not broken. Check the switch assem-

bly for continuity. To do a continuity check, first be sure all 

power is disconnected or OFF to the refrigerator. Second, 

remove all wires from the switch assembly, then check the 

switch. When the switch is depressed, there should not 

be continuity. When the switch is NOT depressed, there 

should be continuity. If any of these checks are incorrect, 

replace the switch. After the check, be sure the switch as-

sembly is wired properly per the wiring diagram.

5.11 fuses

The 3 amp DC fuse is designed to protect the circuit board 

from internal/external DC shorts. The 5 amp AC fuse is 

designed to protect the integrity of the AC detection and 

heater circuit from shorts. All fuses can be checked for 

continuity. If a fuse blows don’t replace it until the problem 

has been found. If a fuse blows there is a short or compo-

nent that has created the problem.

5.12 thermofuse

The RM3962/3762 cooling units have a Thermofuse lo-

cated on the boiler. The function of the thermofuse is to 

shut  down  the  control  system  in  the  event  the  cooling 

unit  over  heats.  On  certain  units  the  fuse  can  be  reset 

by pushing the button in the center. The thermofuse is a 

non replaceable component of the cooling unit. When the 

fuse pops it is normally an indication the cooling unit has 

a problem and the cooling unit will have to be replaced. 

The fuse can be checked for continuity.
