need a new blower but I don't know what 2 buy

Have you taken the blower out and cleaned it? You would be surprised the amount of dust and pet hair that gets in it.

If you open the hopper does it a plate inside with info on it? Should have a MFG date listed with month and year if it is there. Mine is an 06 and the plate is on the left side. I recently cleaned my convection fan and it helped some.

Yes it does but I can not for the life of me make out the year. It's faded or rubbed off in places.

The year is stamped in just under the serial number on mine which is stamped in also. If you can find the serial number you might be able to call tech support and maybe they can tell the year from that or you could try placing a paper over the numbers and lightly rub with a pencil to get the numbers??

This may be the one for your stove.

For the convection blower you do not need a new gasket.

It is much easier to the blower out if you remove the control board first.

I would clean it and it may solve your problem There is a vid on youtube and a collection of videos on the Englander site. This fan is notorious for getting dust and/or pet hair caught up in it and it can really cut down on air flow. Get a scrubber and a good vacuum and it doesn't take long. Unless there is another issue with it like making some weird noise it might save some money.

+1 on the crazy amount of dirt those things collect.
if you have an air compressor, take out the blower, bring it outside and let er rip. Way more fun way to clean it than scrubbing
