Quadrafire contour vacuum switch

[Mailmaam]

We have a 2001 quadrafire contour stove. We are trying to replace the vacuum switch. It has an orange and a red wire. I am not able to find a wiring diagram showing which wire goes where. Can anyone advise me on how it goes???
Thank you.

I do not think it matters which way the go on
The switch is just on /off
So when there is vac the switch is on /no vac. it is off

I agree. I know for sure on my stove that the polarity of the wires to my vacuum switch doesn't matter. When there's vacuum, the switch just connects the two wires together.

All are correct, ac powers the stove, so no polarity issue.

Thanks for the replies. Unfortunately, when my husband installed the new switch, the auger won't turn. But when he jumped it without the switch, it did. Any ideas on this new development??? You folks are really helpful and I am really appreciative

May have gotten a faulty switch. One of these folks will know how to test it.

Ok sounds like progress. When bypassing the vac switch, the auger turned? This means vac is not being developed in the stove, or its not being sensed. Has the vac sw hose been checked, blown through toward the stove, not the switch? The nipple on the drop tube that the vac hose connects to may be blocked. Air flow through the stove is not adeqjuate, does the exh blower run normally? Are all exh passages clean? Things to think about and check. Bad vac switches are rare, bad new switches, even rarer.....

Thank you for the information. We now have a plan of action. Will keep you posted.
