*Clean fan blades & check fan bearing.
Check blower wire harness:
*Color of wires, Connector pins, test for broken wires
Check over heat snap disc (#230-1290)
*This is located on the pellet drop chute. Is it tripped?
Check drop tube thermocouple:
*This has to produce millivolts to turn the blower on.
Replace convection blower:
*If all previous checks are good, replace the blower.
Replace the control board (SRV7000-456):
*If replacing the blower did not x, replace the board.
