Is the computer/control board served by a separate fuse?
A *shorted rectifier to make DC for a computer-type switchmode

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

If there's a separate (low-rated) fuse on the input to the control
logic, it wouldn't
blow the (larger) fuses you're seeing go out. If there ISN'T a
separate
fuse there, the control logic's power inlet could be a suspect.
That's why it's worth checking to see if there is a separate fuse.
