Quadrafire mt vernon conv blower jam

Yes but then you have cut wires that will need to be repaired later, or spliced back together to be able to use the connections again. kap

 

[kappel15]

Or buy new wire harness for em, kap

 

[Rich1359]

Should I cut them before the first connection? Between the sensor and first connection above the vacuum switch.

 

[Rich1359]

Would it be the sensor if they are both reading open?

 

[Rich1359]

Jumped them both out, still reading doors open..

 

[Rich1359]

Running out of options, think a new control board is needed?

 

[kappel15]

That doesn't make any sense. With the wires jumped, the icons should go away as there is continuity. Have you pulled the connection on the control board that is the end of these wires, and reseated it? Try popping the face off the wall control

Yup, tried both of those. Think the control board might be bad? Pretty expensive part to replace.

 

[kappel15]

I don't know. But only thing left. Hate just throwing parts at it. But only thing left. And yes they are expensive. Wish I lived closer as I have a spare. Where or who did you buy it from? If a store, did they give any warranty with it? kap

 

[Rich1359]

I have had it a long time. Manufacture date is 2007. Will the board SRV700-456 replace my 450-15-0931? The shop I bought it from closed down years ago. How close are you to Western NY??

 

[kappel15]

LOL Iowa isn't very close to you. 456C was last revision I knew of but I think they came out with a D too. kap

Will the newer boards be direct plug in replacements for what I have?

 

[kappel15]

Just unplug stove, unplug wire harness's from old board, plug into new board and good to go

Thanks for all your help Kap, hopefully I can find one locally tomorrow. It is -2 outside now...

 

[Rich1359]

Well, this is going from bad to worse. Nobody has the part locally, so I had a plumber come out to get my furnace going. The propane line from the tank to the house is frozen. Not a good weekend....

 

[kappel15]

Feel for ya. kap

 

[kappel15]

Just for giggles, try jumping the vac switch wires together and see if icons disappear on wall control.Just be sure to not ground them on stove. kap

 

[kappel15]

And did you wire together each switch wires separate? Did you check the wire harness for these switches for a place that got grounded or anything? Did you ever replace the wire harness from control board to conv. fan? kap

 

[Rich1359]

The new board is due tomorrow. I will let you know how it goes.

 

[kappel15]

Remember that the wire harness connections are very fragile, and don't forget to unplug stove. kap

 

[Rich1359]

Thanks Kap. Stove has been unplugged since Friday. I got lucky, it was 60 here today. Going to take a picture of where the wires connect to the current board so I dont mess up the new one.

 

[Rich1359]

Ok, new board in, now I get snap disc tripped and conv blower jammed.

 

[kappel15]

Time to check the snap disc and wire harness. Did it trip from getting too hot, or come up before a a fire, or before anything? kap

 

[Rich1359]

Came up before anything. I changed the control board and the open doors errors are gone, now I get snap disc tripped and then conv blower jammed a few seconds later. It never had a chance to start.

 

[kappel15]

Wire harness's or bad disc to start with or needs to be reset, which might clear the conv. jam error also
