well my 52i just bit the dust during the blizzard. The combination fan just keeps cycling. Guess it’s time to order a new control board for it.
 
It’s 3-4 years old.

It’s the combustion fan short cycling
 
I would try cleaning out the pots on the control board.

I’m not sure what the “pots” are on the control board... but I did unplug everything and remove and replace the fuse, with the same exact one, and it has now turned on.

Will see if it will fire....
 
Ah.Well,use the search box above,you will find many posts about cleaning Harman control board potentiometers, basically,pull the knobs on the 3 adjustments,on the control board,spray down the shafts,with electronics cleaner,while rotating them.
 
We have fire!!
