    Sounds like a capacitor problem to me.

    The internet tells me that if it's 3 flashes, it's probably a capacitor problem, if it's four flashes, it might be a relay problem.

    How comfortable are you with a soldering iron?

    Never used one before. Would it be difficult to fix?

    If your not that comfortable, have a knowledgeable friend over and you guys can do the project together. Also make sure it's been unplugged a WHILE before you start feeling around in there. The capacitors need to discharge. This comes from experience....and a few burnt fingers.
    It's like JFK announcing the moon mission. He had no expertise in space travel, and no way of knowing if it would work. He just announced "we're going to the moon" and then they made it happen because everyone was on the same page and working towards the same goal. If he had said "well, let's get some people in space, and we'll see how far out we can get, and if I find someone to make a rocket strong enough, we could possibly approach the moon's orbit and maybe land" it wouldn't have happened.
