Englander 25pdvc stopped working

Hi guys today I tried cleaning my stove quick and I was lining the bearings. I normally unplug the stove but I didn’t this time and when I pulled the lube gun out I hit the Control board which caused a spark. After I cleaned it I turned it on and ran for a minutes then shut off. Nothing would turn back on when I went to the back there was some smoke and the air intake was hot near the stove. Some wires were laying on it and it melted. Any idea what may be wrong now

You let the Magic Smoke out of the Electronics.

Do you think I fried the control board?

Well I checked the fuse and it was blown out a new one in and it stated up so hopefully it’s ok now it’s in start up mode

I cut the bad out of the wires and rewired them. I am working night shift tonight I woke up an hour and half later and the stove was off liked it powered down. I just turned it back on it was still warm so I don’t think it was shut down for long. I will see if it does anything before I leave

The wires were melted the first time. And the oak was very hot they were stick to that

The wires turned your oak into a very large resistor. I am surprised it didn’t pop you main circuit breaker.

That’s what I kind of figured. Like I said also the stove shut down after I went to take a nap when I started up I acted like it went into a normal shut down. I just started it back up and will monitor it again before I leave for work

If I were you, I'd be ordering a spare board just in case. Never hurts to have a spare on hand, just like blower and auger motors, spares can save your bacon (and eggs too).

I keep spares all the time. That way I'm never left holding the bag (of pellets)....

Never have figured out why new cars don' t have spare tires but then I'm old school.
