I saw a similar post on this forum. My stove will start and ignite with exhaust fan running. But room blower won't turn on. After start up is done, it shuts downs and gives error code 1 & 5, burn pot didn't light. Which makes no sense as it did light. Could it be a temp sensor that is bad not allowing the room blower to turn on? I unplugged the blower leads and ran 120 volts to it and the blower started right up. I then tested the power leads to the blower, getting power. I have an O.A.K. installed, no butterfly valve. Any help you can offer would be great as Home Depot, where I bought it, is of no help.
Thanks,
Ed

Here is the replacement from Grainger. They do not last long due to the plastic housing. I took an old one apart, used the metal base and four pennies, and suface mounted my latest one because I got tired of changing them out.

You may be able to find a ceramic one, just be sure it is a close on rise fan switch 140 degrees F.
