Whitfield Profile 20 not starting - thoughts?

[elizabethp]

Hi everyone
We just moved our Whitfield Profile 20 (has new igniter, auger motor, and blower motor) to the basement. It jostled some.
After we spent $600 on new piping (oy!), hubby hooked it up and tried to start it. Dedicated breaker and all.
Nothing!
Lights come on but nothing else happens. They don't flash.
Are we doomed to buy a new/refurbed control panel?
He cleaned the electric eye in case it got dirty. He tested for continuity.
Any other thoughts before we dig into the control panel?
Thank you.

Also, there is one fella, good reputation, that specializes fixing those boards, talked to him a few months back, but forgot to write his name down. Was for neighbors stove board. But he is easily found on the net.

Thank you for this info! He fixes amps so he's going to give it a try. Even has the capacitors.
