Igniter stopped working Black Friday stove kept dumping unused pellets in ash tray from trying to light. I started stove manually 3 times waiting for new igniter from Amazon. Installed new igniter from Amazon( I believe 30 watt) Said it was same one. Stove seemed fine all night then about 11AM wife heard a bang and the stove smelled like fried electronics. Tested igniter and it was blown. ( It had a hole blown out through the coil) So installed new igniter and stove wouldn't ignite. No power to the igniter. Took power supply out and fuse was still intact. Decided to take main control board out and the ignitor power supply on the board was fried. ( See Pics) So I resoldered a piece to the board and fuse link as tha is where it blew. ( Why didn't it blow the fuse) Anyway assembled everything back together and put in a new igniter and it ran all night. Then this morning again the stove tried to startup and it caused the house lights to flicker and stunk like electrical fire. I have a UPS that the stove is plugged into in case of power outage and my wife had to unplug everything to get it to stop beeping.

Do I need to get a different igniter? Is my main board shot? or is it the power supply?

Thank You
