Hi all,

I have an Englander 25 PVDC and I recently had the top auger transformer blow and the .04µF 250V capacitor along with a trace on the board. I have replaced the motor, Cap, and jumped a trace wire that was broke when the cap blew. However my top auger is running continuously after the repairs.
I have done a factory reset on the board which sent it to "A" mode and 541 for the lower three settings. I have sent all the lower settings to 1 and changed the modes between A, B, C, and D with no success.
I am really trying to avoid shelling out 300 bucks for a new board. Any thoughts?
Thanks in advance!
 
I think the triac that controls the motor is shorted.
