Tonight the distribution blower on our accentra stopped working. It will run at low speed but never picks up to max speed when the stove is hot. Have had a similar probelm in the past, solved it by placing some torque on the room temp knob slightly past the end point. Nothing is wokring this time. Fully cleaned the stove today, including scraping the burn pot, leaf blower on the exhaust, rear fines box and wiping down the ESP.

Unit is free standing, direct vent through the wall. Four years old, burning MWP.

The distribution blower light is on solid, stove builds a full flame.

Any ideas?
 
figured it out, somehow a pellet lodged itself in one of the blowers and was preventing rotation

glad it is running now but worried about damage to the motor, likely will have to replace in the near future
