4 screws each. Remove the rear panel held in place with 6 screws.
• Remove the 2 screws holding the blower to its mounting plate. Disconnect
the two blower wires.
• Replace the blower and reconnect the two wires.
When replacing the rear panel, ensure that the
wires are neither pinched nor interfere with the
blower operation. Ensure that the combustion air
cover plates and gaskets are properly installed and
sealed.

Because the blower is thermally activated, when turned on, it will automatically start approximately 15-30 minutes
after lighting the appliance and will run for approximately 30-45 minutes after the appliance has been turned off.
Use of the fan increases the output of heat.
Drywall dust will penetrate into the blower bearings causing irreparable damage and must be prevented from
coming into contact with the blower or its compartment.
Any damage resulting from this condition is not covered by the warranty policy.
