lopi leyden issue

My stove has been acting funny sometimes the blow kicks off and on and seems to not happen all the time. I think it is the snap disk going bad because i hear a click the motor is not straining.They dont give you a wiring diagram to tell which one is for the blower. I am not sure which one to check or to order for my stove. If any one has the wiring diagram can you post it please.
Thank You Chris

Well the stove went out last night while I was at work. checked for what lights were blinking, fault light and #2 light. so I check the vac switch it was okay but the brass barb fitting that is screwed into the combustion blower box packed soild with ash. I cleaned it in the spring and had plugged up on a less than a tom of dry creek wood pellets stove seems to be okay now. I thouhgt it was a snap disk because the room are blower was coming on and off then would stay on. But I just figured if a snap disk went bad it would just not work at all. So just some info you guys. Thanks for the help.

Great it's working thanks for the info on keeping the vacuum tube and brass fitting clean.

My Lopi manual had two addendums that remind the owner to keep the burn pot clean and that brass vacuum fitting cleaned out.

To get at mine you have to remove the rear panel (kind of a PIA), but I did take a pipe cleaner to it after my first ton and left the rear panel attached with just two easy to get to screws.

Hello, having the same problem with my Leyden - blower shuts down on med-high settings. Was also thinking snap disk, but would like to try this cleanup first. How do I access the convection blower and brass fitting? I have a pic of the convection blower from lopi stoves (http://www.lopistoves.com/LopiPelle...den_Maintenance/lopilLeyden_main.html#exhaust)

- but it does not indicate how to access it. Is it under the back panel?

Thanks.
