This stove is difficult to start after its turned off. When it runs everything runs normal. I have checked all the snap discs and the pressure switch for continuity and they are good. Vacuum line on pressure is clear, hopper lid switch is also good. I have also bypassed these devices hoping the stove would start. It takes a few minute's of pressing the on the button before it finally latches and then the stove runs normal. I'm thinking its the control board.

Any thoughts?
 
get yourself a small can of CRC Electronics cleaner, it leaves 0 residue. spray the switch so it goes inside best you can. If that don't help you will probably need a switch. ck with a local electronics repair shop. direct msg me if you have trouble locating one

I failed to mention that when I push the on button the off light comes on
