Hi all! Thanks in advance for any input. I've been running this thing since '07 and never had an issue. Now, before my problems started we did have a surge from a nearby lightning strike that knocked out a few electronics in the house that didn't have independent fuses. I didn't notice any problems with the stove until a few months later after I cleaned and ran it for the first time of the year. Come to think of it, the distro blower was on one day when the stove hadn't been run in months and I had to unplug it from the wall to get it shut off prior to the cleaning. Fuse never blew, still in perfect condition.
Combustion blower was shot, also had a bird in it for the second time. Tested with pigtail and replaced. New one runs on pigtail, but not when connected to the spades in the stove.
When stove is plugged in and on stove temp mode the distro and combustion blower lights both illuminate and the distro blower immediately fires up, the combustion blower does nothing. Shutdown and start buttons do nothing. Thermostat mode shuts off distro blower and light, but the combustion blower light stays on and still doesn't spin. I can hook it up to a pigtail and get the stove to burn, only did that as a test, and only once.
I've pulled the esp, cleaned it and inspected the wiring. I currently have the board unfastened and accessible. There is a bit of browning on an expansion type power board's coupler, end most connection point.
Board is discontinued and unavailable everywhere I've looked.
Try to get a board repair, replace esp, or something else? Questions for me or suggestions on things to look for or try?
As an aside, between the time I pulled the blower and the new one came, my wife and kids came home to a friggin squirrel in the house
Again, any input or suggestions would be much appreciated. If I can't get this thing running I'll be saving pennies for a wood burner.

on-line Harman manuals for these two stoves do not include the wiring schematic.
