Hey Guys, I am new to the pellet stove world, just brought a house and it came with it. I have burned about a ton of pellet so far and now I seem to have an issue were the convection blower is not turning on. I have cleaned and deep cleaned the pellet stove numerous times in between burns but recently the convection blower just won't turn on. A fire starts, and it stays lit for a good amount of time, but it never turns on. Any help would be appreciated, if you need more info please ask, also I am new to this so I only know what I have read in these forums. Thanks - John

Thanks, I did just that, and the blower would budge but not rotate. I will be buying a new one.

Before pitching it in the trash you could possibly bring in to a electric motor shop and they may be able to put in new bearings if the motor is just stuck or dragging hard.
John, read your manual, if you don't have one, download from Breckwell. Lot's of info, especially troubleshooting. # 2 flashing is air # 3 flashing is fuel. Make sure you clean it real good, including taking plates out from behind burnpot. Don2222 from east coast hearth has an upgraded blower with larger impellers-works good. While you are at it, buy a low limit and high limit switch for spares. Burn good pellets and that stove will work as good as stoves many times the Big E price. Good luck
