Need some help. I have a Regency GF55 stove. I cleaned it and oiled the fan today. I accidentally bumped a part on the back of the control panel. The stove will turn on and drop a bunch of pellets which ignite, but then it ends up going to shut down the mode. It will not fully start up. I can’t tell if I broke the soldering on the back of the control panel. Anyone know what the small black diode (or whatever it’s called) does? Wonder if I broke the soldering and that is what is preventing start up. Thanks

I can't really tell from the pictures about the board. What are you trying to show? Can you describe the part? Could be a chip or capacitor?
Sounds like a Proof of Fire problem if you had fire and the combustion fan and igniter were working.
Try to take another picture of the card issue maybe no flash and no zoom but hold the phone close.
You can send a high res pic to my email or iphone if you dm me.
 
Try removing the Exhaust temp switch and clean it. Check that the hole is
not plugged with ash (the hole where you removed the switch from), then
try to start the stove again. The switch is located just above the combustion fan
2 Brown wires
