Qaudrafire 1200i Exhaust Blower running continuously

[drobbie98]

I have a strange one.
I have just finished a thorough cleaning of my Classic 1200i stove.
One of the things I did was remove the exhaust blower to clean out the back chamber. After reassembling everything and reconnecting the power the exhaust blower turns on even with the thermostat turned off.
I even disconnected the wires that run to the thermostat to see if it would stop but it continued to run.
Has anyone else seen this behavior?

When you disassembled the blower, was the stove unplugged?

Yes, I believe so
The control box, still shows the blue start up light and red feed light.

You could be in trouble. The combustion blower is wired to the control card directly.

I would disconnect the stove, take the card out and look for any damage.
Always use whole home surge suppression, and another small one for the stove.

You probably shorted the Triac that turns blower on and off it can be replaced. Below is link for a ignitor triac but replacement is same for blower one you just have to figure out which one it is. Choices are buy replacement board, have board repaired by a professional or try it yourself.

IIRC, plugging in a Classic Bay 1200 will cause exhaust blower to run for 15 mins, then if no call for heat from thermostat, it shuts off. If it runs longer, then something up with control board. But let it run for 15-20 mins to see if it shuts down. Good luck.

Forgot to ask, did you turn up tstat and get red call light? And it started feeding like normal? If so, just shut down tstat and wait for it to cycle and shut down completely.
