I have an older pellet stove (2005) with original control board. What happens is in start up mode everything seems to work . stove comes up to temp but convection fan wont start. I have put 120v direct to blower and it works fine, I have continuity across exhaust temp snap disc when stove is hot.
tested voltage at pig tail connection for motor and getting a range of voltage 50v - 90v seems to fluctuate. with snap disc still connected i jumpered the disc and still no convection blower and same volt readings at blower motor. Then about 20 minutes of running stove shuts down and fault light comes on. A new board is over 200.00. volt reading at snap disc is 120v.
