Hello, new here at posting, but have used the previous threads for some troubleshooting.
Here's the situation. I have a Quadra Fire Castile Insert, older model, has the white control box, not the opaque one. Came with the house, but I'll assume it's about 10 years old.
I cleaned it out completely, I took it apart, used canned air, vacuums, etc. But the convection blower does not come on at all. I have another Quadra Fire in the house, different model, but the convection blower has similar plugs and all, so I took it out of the other stove, plugged it into the Castile, and that one doesn't work in the Castile either. So I put that blower back in the other stove, and it works there. So, somehow the stove is not sending power to the blower, at least that's my conclusion. But all the wires just go back to the metal box full of wires, which seems impossible to open without destroying it, and then the control box plugs into that. So I tend to think the problem lies in either of those two parts. The control box on the other stove is different, so I can't swap that out for troubleshooting. None of the switch plates are popped, I've already reset one of those, which is where all the problems began.
Initially, the auger motor wasn't working, and I found that the switch plate #2 (I think) was popped, I reset that and that's when I thought all was well until the convection blower decided not to work anymore. I took it out again yesterday, cleaned it some more, plugged it in and it worked for a few minutes. So, when I put it back in and decided to run the stove one more time, it did not work. What the #@(*&?
Anyway, long story short, motor is not getting power. Why not? I'm spending thousands in oil while the stove sits there not working.
