That's probably not good. Static charge can do some NASTY things to electronics. Wish I could help you further. Once you get it straightened out, I recommend getting a humidifier, or at the very least, discharging the static on something metal other than the stove, BEFORE touching it.

ok this is like pulling teeth ... have you tried starting on manual ? sorry but we're not there so ... another suggestion , try unplugging the stove for at least one minute , then plug it back in .
We have unplugged it and nothing. We checked the fuse and it's fine. Everything works except the blower it hears up but blower doesn't come on

i'm guessing that you've fried your board from the static . however , that's just my opinion . a new board is @ $270

My husband said he wasn't touching anything. He is gonna go talk to the people who we bought the stove from. What would doing that with the wires do

the stove originally comes w/o any thermostat . there is a block with two connections on the back of the board with a jumper between them . to hook a therm to your stove the installer has to remove the jumper and replace those wires with the wires from the therm .
i was just trying to remove the therm from the equation to see if it's the board that took the hit from the static electricity or not .
btw , i own the same stove
Thank
