Got up at 6 am to a house full of smoke and the stove out. There is no power going to the control board, i unplugged it and plugged it back in but there is not lights coming on on the board??. Could this be a fuse???
 
Replaced fuse and reassembled, found ignitor not working, may have been what blew fuse, removed ignitor found it to be kind of slumped over and now need to replace that. whats next?
 
a lot of times a blown igniter will go to ground blowing the fuse, in most stoves this will seldom damage the control board but not always. sometimes it can do damage , thing to do is order the new igniter install it , then plug the stove in do not turn it on , observe for several minutes with the stove NOT RUNNING to see if the igniter energizes, if it does then its a bad board , replace board as the igniter will run all the time and blow again very soon. if it does not energize good, next step , turn the unit on and see if the igniter energizes as it should if it dont , bad board again, if it does then all should be fine.


hope this helps
