Water heater questions

Need info please my wife and I bought a 1985 pace arrow last month have slow been fixing things as we go along. We are having problems with the water heater it is gas only with the switch inside. Took the board to a local shop they tested the board and it is shot. The are not any stickers saying what model it has. Trying to figure out what I can use to get it working.

Suburban circuit board is on backside of water heater
Suburban has a 3/4" drain hole and uses an anode rod
Suburban combustion chamber is on lower right side and the exhaust is directly above it (Stacked Chamber)

Suburban Gas Only WH


Atwood circuit board is in outside compartment above combustion chamber
Atwood has a 1/2" drain hole....no anode rod.......uses a nylon drain plug
Atwood combustion camber is on lower right side BUT exhaust is on top left side (Diagonal Chamber)

Atwood Gas Only WH




Dinosaur Electronics has replacement Circuit Boards (water heaters, furnaces, fridges etc)

If you have a number on current board they can cross reference.
Otherwise you can use a 'universal board'

And by reputation, Dinosaur Electronics boards are superior to OEMs, so don't hesitate.

Make and model are on the sticker on the bottom, There is that large panel of text, Directly below it on the Right.. All I could make out on that sticker is the UL symbol due to the angle but that's where the info is or at least was when it was new.

Dinosaur boards is a good source of a replacement board.. They can also help you with make model ID.
