We started with a problem with our empress last year that during the startup cycle it would shut down before the blower would start, but if we restarted it before it completely shut down, it would get going.
This season it would seem to start, but the blower would never get going and it just shuts down after it's startup cycle. We tried cleaning it but that didn't work.
The installer came out and cleaned it more thoroughly, didn't help. We replaced the blower motor, but that didn't help. Now he thinks it's the motherboard. This is another $250 or so repair.
I'm worried that replacing the motherboard also won't work.
We'd really like to put in a wood stove instead because we want to get rid of the blower but there are some rather big issues because our hearth is not adequate and this year it would be a bit hard on our budget.
Any advice?
