Castle Serenity Blower Motor Issues - Help Needed

[RichBeBe]

I have had my Castle Serenity for three winters, and it has been pretty flawless. The power switch went bad last year, and I swapped it with one from Amazon. All was working well until last week. I noticed a smoke smell and realized the blower was not working correctly. I thought it might be shot, but the blower came on like usual when I turned the stove off.
I checked everything, and the blower is working, but when I fire the stove, the exhaust fan works, but the blower does not work, no matter what speed I set the stove at. I do not like just throwing parts at things, but my thinking is the control module might be shot. Has anyone else had this problem, if so what did you do to fix it? TIA

You contradict yourself in your statement, so makes it hard to understand. So, lets start at the basics-
There are 2 "blowers"
The convection, or room,"blower",usually called a fan
The exhaust blower, or fan,or combustion fan/blower
If the combustion does not run, stove will not run
If room fan does not run, stove will overheat, shut down, and show a error code.

I was referring to the blower as the convection part and the exhaust fan as the exhaust fan.
The exhaust is working properly it is the convection blower that only turns on when I turn the fan to the off setting.

OK so it does not come on, after stove is lit, and warms up?

Yes, it only comes on when I turn the stove off. Not while it is running, and thank you.

Then, unless someone has messed with your wiring , is probably a bad control board.

BTW, the seller of these stoves has an excellent reputation for help, over the phone.

That was my hunch. I wish there was a way to test it. I did test voltage to the blower and it had none, until I turned it off.

Well, I don't have a wiring diagram for that stove, but don't see what else it could be. Call them, or send a message--
