Both blowers on my lopi large insert quit on me. I did change the Rheostat a few months ago so I doubt it's that. I also bypassed the power from the Rheostat and still no luck. I doubt that both blowers would go out at the same time. The unit is now only 2 1/2 year old. That should happen I don't think. They both spin freely and not stopped by dust and ash. I don't know what to do now. Thanks in advance for any help.

Ok I got a power tester on the wires and I see two wires going back along the side of the unit and one has power and one doesn't. They are wired inline to the Rheostat so I'm thinking that it's some kind of thermo switch back they that is stuck off.
I could bypass it but not sure if that's advisable.

The thermostatic snap switch should be checked. If that is not working the circuit will remain open and the blowers will not come on.
