Atwood Water Heater Control Board

Despite doing my best to point the finger of suspicion elsewhere, it looks as if I need a new control board for my Atwood GCH6A - 9E water heater.

Any comments on Dinosaur boards vs genuine Atwood modules or any other equivalents please

Without a doubt my vote is for Dinosaur board. They are better made and will last much longer. OEM boards do not measure up to a Dinosaur.

Dinosaur is a great company. Atwood prices all of their components high.

The Dino board also carries a 3 yr. warranty and they stand behind their product.

Heater now working perfectly which makes a pleasant change from all the intermittent problems it has been giving me over several months.
