Dovre 400 reattaching to my thermostat

[guywithquestions]

I had to unhook my dovre from the wall.
There were two wires that attached to the dovre to run the thermostat
I don't remember where the wires went and I can't find a picture or manual online.

Any idea how to reattach the thermostat wires?

Thanks!

Upper left of the pic there is a terminal block which allows wiring to be connected with Female spades. There should be two terminals on that block marked with the letters TH. Those are your mV thermostat connection points. If there are more letters (like TP) on one of the blocks don't worry about it. There is no polarity involved, so it doesn't matter which wire goes where. If you take a short jumper wire & touch either end to a terminal labelled TH, your Dovre should come on. That will confirm your connection points.

Thank you!
Can you take a look at this picture to see if I've done it right?

Second question, can you help me to light the pilot light?

Thank you again.

I don't think so. I don't see any pair of wires that go to the TH terminals. I see one pair in the rear that are black with red spades. One goes to TP one goes to TH. The other two pairs go to the TP-TH & the TP terminals. You have to run your THermostat to the TH terminals.

I have now connected the thermostat lines to the THs

The black wires with the red caps run up to the top of the unit to an on off switch.

How can I tell that this thing is wired correct?
What's the next step in getting the unit working again?

Thank you very much for your help on this matter.

If the black wires are to a switch, I believe they should be wired just as the T-Stat.
Those connections should ALSO be at the TH terminals...A T-Stat IS a switch.
Do you have the owner's manual? If not we'll keep moving on...
Take a pic of the front of the valve & we'll see if we can get the pilot lit.

 

[guywithquestions]

I made the switch per your instructions. I don't have the manual, but I did take a picture of the lighting unit of the stove. Can you help me light the pilot light? I would experiment around myself, but I don't want to blow up the house.

 

[DAKSY]

First of all is this NG or LP fueled?
If NG, is the gas on?
If LP, is the tank full & the gas flow turned on
Secondly, have you bled the air from the gas line?

 

[guywithquestions]

It is natural gas.
I have the ability to turn the gas on, but it's currenlty off

I have not bled the air from the gas line. I'm not sure exactly how that would be accomplished.

 

[DAKSY]

Do you feel confident to do this? If so I can probably talk you thru the procedure, but if you're hesitant, it might be better left to a pro. Your call...

 

[guywithquestions]

No, let's give this a go.

Give me the direction and I'll follow it to the word. ONce again. Thank you!

OK. Post a pic of the side of the valve here the gas is hooked to it.
That will help be see what you've got.
Also, give me a close up of the On-Pilot-Off knob.
There should be a small red or white dot or an arrowhead near
the OD to indicate the position it is currently in.
