More then likely its the control board. Mine is a 2004,and has worked great for many years but the electronics do get weak over time due to heat. I put a new board in it for this winter and its working like new. I experimented with mine also with larger blowers and fans. Wont be doing anymore of that either lol
I ended up wiring in a ceiling fan controller to operate the convection blower separate seems to be working fine ,have ran it for two days this way.
Did you test both POF switches? You may have gotten a defective one.. Glad you got it running and hopefully your only using this as a temp solution. Should find the cause if it is the board it may totally fail in a day, week, month, or never fail..
Replaced both with new, pretty sure the board is bad until I get the extra funds to replace it going to run it like this. I only use it wgwh I am at home.
