Is the computer/control board served by a separate fuse? A shorted
rectifier to make DC for a computer-type switchmode power supply would
have this symptom, sometimes.


Please explain how a blown fuse would short the other two out. ?


I think that isn't what whit3rd is suggesting (although it's possible for
a big fuse to spray metal onto other circuits, if given high enough
current and voltage) . Instead, the question probably is where the
control board is in the circuit, relative to the fuses.
