I had a problem last year with my stove and after troubleshooting decided the control panel needed to be replaced. When I put the new one in everything was fine. However, my wife thought the stove wasn't putting out as much heat with the new panel. I wasn't so sure. It still kept the house warm.
Anyway, last week the new panel must have gotten a surge (despite my surge suppressor) because everything went wonky. (see post). I tested everything and cleaned out the blowers well (especially the buildup in front of the POF disc) to no avail, so I figured panel again.
On a fluke I reinstalled the old panel from last year. Worked like a charm! Plus, the heat is indeed undisputedly higher. So my questions are:
1) What could the old panel be doing differently to cause such a heat difference?
2) Is there something on the panels that can be changed, or is it hardcoded?
