Hi all,
I have a 1200i giving me problems apon initial plug in for this season. Started with no response whatsoever when plugged in. Checked source power voltage and all is good. Ended up buying one of the Amazon control boards(figured it was worth a try for the price point).
New board installed and set to the appropriate setting for the 1200. When given power and thermostat off, red light illuminates in the control box and exhaust fan starts blowing.
No call light, no other function on the stove. My first thought was a thermocouple issue throwing the high temp signal, replaced it with no change.

I have tried to bypass and check the snap rings and vacuum switch with no change

Is the controller I put in not functioning properly or could something else be the cause?

Any guidance would be greatly appreciated!

Disconnect the thermostat at the stove and try again
Remember to install a jumper wire across the thermostat hook-up points in the stove

Thank you for the response.
I have worked through the thermostat circuit and have continuity at the 7 and 9 pins to the board.
Still no change in the control board red light, no call light, and no current to the ignitor.
 
Check snap disc # 3
No call light and igniter usually means no heat call from stat
or # 3 snap disc is tripped. The disc can be reset by pushing the red button down
