Whitfield Advantage II Problem

[Enumclaw]

Hi all, I hope this is the right spot for this question.

I have the aforementioned stove. When I push the start button, the fans come on and all the lights as normal, but the fans go off after 1 or 2 seconds. This happens repeatedly. Once in a while the fans will stay on and the stove will operate normally, until such time the pellets run out or I turn it off for cleaning. Then I never know if it's going to start again or not. I dealt with this the last 2 or 3 months of the season last year, and am looking at the problem again now, after procrastinating on this while doing other "projects" over the warm months.

I have checked the snap switches, etc., trying different combinations of bypassing or ensuring the path was open, with no change in operation. Am I looking at a control board issue?

As always, thanks in advance to all.

Rob

How old is the stove, Is the board a new LED board ?

Thanks for the reply.

It's the II-T, freestanding, with the newer LED board.

I've had a problem like that, but my stove would not start, But once the stove was up and running it worked great, I had to get a new board. I think the problem was the small relay on the control board.
