Just did some maintenance on my gas fireplace in the basement. Im noticing that the flame ksnt as large as it was a couple years ago. I've cleaned out the lines with an air can and that seemed to have helped only slightly.

My second thing is that my blower hasn't worked for years so I've decide to repair/replace it. But I can't get it out from the under and behind the unit. I'm post pictures as sop. As I can.

Any suggestions?
 
Pull the burner orifice & make sure the gas line behind it is clear...You can use a pipe cleaner or a Q-Tip.
As far as the blower removal, a manufacturer & a model would help us resolve the issue.

Been a busy week and I need to go on a computer to send pictures. I'll do it this weekend.
