"Hi @sugarcup ,

What tests did you do to make you decide to change the control board, you didn’t say?

Did you test the power supply circuitry i.e. the circuit from the the cord plug all the way to the Control Switch and the control board using an Ohmmeter to prove that the cord is OK the switch is OK and that the continuity of the power supply circuitry to the board is OK?

Be safety aware : Do this with the appliance completely disconnected from the Power supply"

My issues were that it 1st - only ran on one speed, then 2nd, wouldn't turn on at all. The problem (I think) ended up being two loose bolts in the back housing behind the switch controller. When I took off the back cover, they just fell out. I couldn't find any photos of what the assembly should have looked like, so it was trial and error testing. Once I put the loose bolts back on the “hidden” posts/screws on the far back metal plate and tightened them down (and undid all the other adjustments I tried to make first) it worked like a champ.
