When I turn my stove on, the convection blower runs for about 2 seconds. Then it shuts off and never comes back on. If I jump power to the blower it will run fine, so I'm thinking it's not the blower. If I light pellets manually, the stove doesn't go into shutdown mode, so I'm thinking the temperature switch on the exhaust works. I tried jumping the switch out and the blower doesn't come on.

At this point I'm inclined to believe I have a board problem, but it looks OK. Nothing fried or obviously broken.

So my questions:
1. Does this sound like a board problem? Is there anything else I can check?
2. Is there anyway to know for sure it's the board?
3. Where can I get a replacement?

Thanks in advance for any info.
