Buck Stove fan

[carolb4]

I am trying to find diagrams and/or instructions for disassembling the Buck Stove insert in order to reach the fan motor. I do not know how to begin removing the trim,etc. Please advise. Model 51ZC

The fan is mounted in the bottom front of the stove. Remove the two screws that hold the front access panel on, then remove the fan bracket/motor. I believe there are two screws holding the fan bracket/motor.

Thank you for your reply. I did not find any screws on the front but the bottom front did just pull out, sort of like a tray. The motor and all wiring were exposed.
The noise that it is making seems to be coming from the fan itself. (the part that turns) What is the best way to rule out the cause?
Do I just start replacing parts?

I guess Buck made a change to the design at some point. Here is a recent thread that may be of help.

If you need a new motor, Buck has it listed for $77 on their web site.
