Hey, all! My Regency LRI4E gas insert had a blower motor failure, and I'm having problems with the new one.

I have a replacement blower installed. When I power the blower directly it turns on and runs fine.

I verified the temperature switch that mounts under the firebox next to the blower switches properly using an ohmmeter and some heat.

If I bypass the temperature switch and plug the blower in to the "120v" port on the power control box, the physical switch on the box controls the blower.

If I plug the blower in to the "fan" port on the power control box, the fan doesn't work. The remote control turns on the pilot and the fire, but the fan never comes on.

Has anyone seen this before? I'd hate the think the controller is broken?
