I have a Canadian comfort pellet stove with the acutron II CB. I've read in threads that the convection fan should come on at startup but it does not. Nor will it come on after the proof of fire switch engages and the cb it's past it's startup mode and in full run mode. It will however run when the f140 switch closes(I jumped it). I measured the voltage to the fan without jumping the 140 switch and it says I have full line voltage 120v to the fan. Any ideas?

Do you have line voltage on both sides of the motor? What is the voltage from one motor lead to the other?
 
What does it measure with the motor connected? Various wiring methods can give misleading readings with the motor disconnected (no load on the circuit).
