Been starting my stove manually because of a bad igniter. Half way through the start up this morning everything died and won't turn back on. Can the bad igniter blow the fuse in the board?
Stove died while starting and now board has no power.

I'd try disconnecting the igniter feed wires from the control board, replace the fuse and try one more time....if the igniter is shorted internally there would be low enough resistance to draw too much power through the Board fuse....worth a try, although from what I know usually when the igniter dies it opens the element. Also as per the above suggestion (with the stove unplugged blown fuse or not) see if there's any obvious pinched wires. Good Luck!
Yeah its the igniter. Unplugged it and its running again. Will replace it tomorrow when I have time. Thanks

Also, while you're in there, lightly tug on all the connectors to check if any are loose, a loose one can cause arcing and blow the fuse.
