i have a Avalon Astoria insert plugged it in the other day to fire it up and the blower keeps running. i know the exhaust blower will run for a little bit then shut off as a safety item. any ideas and thanks ahead of time.
 
Check your low limit switch it tells the convection blower when to turn on and off, sounds like it is stuck on or bypassed. They do stick and that is the first place to check. It is also possible that something is gone on the controller. But the snap disc is first because it is also cheaper than a controller and easier to replace than a triac on a control board..
