Hi all. First time here.
My first question is: What is the main purpose of the convection blower? Reason I asked is late last Winter, I heard a squeak in my living room only to go in there with it full of smoke. The flu pipe got so hot that I climbed in the attic expecting a fire. Usually I could almost hold on to it. This time it melted the labels and all. I suspect the convection motor is frozen.
My other questions are what is involved in a new igniter, and also a new green light in the control door?
Is this stove worth what all the above will cost, and living in Visalia, California, where would be the best place to buy parts if it is worth repair? I am hoping the motor is just frozen, and not an external reason for it to do that.
Thanks for any help.
Jack
