Whitfield 20 Combustion Motor Issues

[Whitfield20help]

Hello,
My Whitfield Profile 20 has a unique issue with the combustion motor. Every once in a while it will cut out and stop blowing. This can be fixed by moving the wiring harness by the main board.
Even a slight small movement can get the motor to kick on or off. I can even just slightly move the access door and the motor will turn on or off.

This issues are only related to the combination motor. All other functions continue as normal when the combustion motor turns off.

All wiring appears in good condition. Is this a board issue? Or a motor issue?

it may be a connection issue, unplug the stove, let it cool down. start inspecting all connections even to the board

You may have a control card connection for the hot, and also some insulated connecters between the motor and the control card. Also check the neutral connection. The vacuum switch should be tied in further in the stove.

May also be a bad ground connection . Make sure all ground connections to the frame are tight and not rusted or corroded.
