Hi All:
Have enjoyed this forum for years as a silent partner.
Original owner of MVAE. The stove was installed in 2007 the control board upgraded a year or 2 later 7000-456 REV C. Like everyone on this board I've had to go through trouble shooting exercises replacing various igniters etc. but overall have been very happy with this stove.
Got the call from the Wife yesterday chemical smell coming from stove when it started. I knew right away that it was probably that all to familiar phenolic compound of a control board was probably the culprit and yes removed the control board and found the AC input which is near the igniter switch was fried, so bad that the connector is melted together. Fuse still good.
My concern is what would cause this to fry? I do not want to replace the board and have the same thing happen. Could it have been a loose connection or do I need to trace back to some other issue? The trouble shooting manual is of no help.
Thank you, CJ
