hello, ive had the castle serenity for 3 months with no problems until last night. I shut stove down to clean, waited about two hours, cleaned it, started it up and it lit no problem but about 10 minutes into the heating cycle it lost power. I checked breaker panel and outlet has power, I then checked and switched fuse at power switch but still no power to stove, I unplugged it and waited until this morning to try it again and still no power. I opened it up and all connection from switch on secured. any ideas of what it could be?
 
had a friend come over who's an electrician and we tested the switch which turned out to be bad. I don't know how it would go bad but we rigged the stove up by bypassing the switch and it turned on. I ordered a new one from amazon, I will update this post after it comes if someone else has the same problem

Stove switch on the control panel? or what switch are you talking about?
 
Update: switch came today, installed it and everything seems good so far. Only thing i can think that might have blown switch is a power surge since i don’t have it plugged into a protector. I will pick one up on my way home from work tomorrow and hopefully it won’t be a problem again. 5 days of burning oil, sucked.
