The other day I wanted to double check the settings on my MVAE. When I initially pressed the "Menu" to back light the thermostat. It immediately started flashing and finally settled on displaying the firmware level of the stove. NOTE: it probably flashed 5 - 8 times and the back light was somewhat diminished. When it stopped, I pressed the "Done" button and it went back to displaying the temperature. This time I hit the "Menu" button and was able to complete what I intended to do. Worked fine after that. I then went away for 5 days so I turned the stove off. I did not pull the plug. I turned it off through the t-stat.
This morning I wanted to turn the stove back on so I pressed the "Menu" button. It started flashing again but this time the display was blank, it flashed maybe 20 - 25 times, backlight again somewhat diminished. After it stopped flashing it went back to displaying the temp as it is supposed to do. Tried again to turn stove on and all went well. I did check the wiring on the back of the stove. All was secure. Stove is plugged into a surge suppressor. Should I be looking at sparing a new t-stat? Also, does anyone know where the program is stored, in the t-stat or on the control board?
Thanks folks and I'd like to take this opportunity to wish all of you a Happy Thanksgiving.
