[mtvernonae]

hi fam - hopping someone can help. I have a quadrafire mt vernon ae pellet insert. Does anyone know what the part numbers are for the thermocouplers connectors that are o. the board? the two circled in red. My pins are shot and need to install these two. Any help is appreciated

Unfortunately quad has a contract with the board maker, they cannot be found unless you wish to buy 3k of them, sorry. If you scour mouser and digikey you might find a board socket that will work 😎

Thank you @Ssyko , I was able to make it work with some other connectors. I have an issue where the blower doesn’t come on. I just installed a new one thinking thats the problem but nope. The stove runs for a while 20/30 min and the blower doesn’t come on at all. After that the stove shuts down. Any clue what’s going on? Any previous experience with this?

Thermocouple - Drop TubeThis thermocouple is located on the bottom of the droptube on the right side and attached with a wing nut. It turns the convection blower on and off, varies the speed of theconvection blower and will shut down appliance if internal heat exceeds set temperature.
This could be your problem
