I feel your pain, as I went through the same issues with ours.  Also, you might notice that when you flip the switch on the cabinet in the kitchen, the light has a delay.  Also when you shut it off, takes a second or so for light to go out.  Apparently, this is normal, at least how mine works.

Same thing with our new brain box Joe. That delay threw me off as well.

Had a tech come out for mine... black box was bad... The new 901 box will not do anything once plugged in.. Nothing at all..

So black box replaced the black box (sperio?)(sp).. would like to have the newest box if possible.. any ideas?

David,  The new 901 solid state Control Unit has some fancy software not in earlier control units.

The interior burner switch MUST be turned OFF before plugging in the 901.  Once the 901 is turned ON with the burner switch, it checks things out.  Having power on at plug-in yeilds a bad report and no operation as a result.

The next change is when the burner switch is turned ON, the 901 goes into its check out and does NOT turn on the interior light until that check is finished.  The delay is about 5 or so seconds.  The prior control units turned the light instantaly.

The last change is once the 901 is turned on, it will always go through a 3 minute cool down at the end of cycle.  Old control units could be truned on, then off and then back on.  They would fire in 30 seconds.  In such a situation, the 901 will see it is turned off and will always complete the 3 minute cool down.  Now with the burner switch still on during the cool down period, the 901 will finish the cool down, shut the burner off and 5 seconds later restart and fire the burner.

So, unplug the 901, make sure the burner switch is OFF and plug it back in.  Turn on burner and enjoy the result.
