My 2200 Osburn insert blower never comes on even after hours of burning.
I checked the thermostat with hot air from a hair dryer and it did turn the blower on and then shut off by itself so I know there is nothing wrong with it.
I think the thermostat is just in a bad location, has anyone else had this problem?
I bypassed the thermostat wiring for now just to make the blower run with the manual switch and probably will relocate the thermostat when I get time.
Thanks
 
Could still be bad sensor in the snap-switch and requires more heat than it should.
