Blower Removal
NOTE: DISCONNECT POWER BEFORE PROCEEDING
1. The blowers are located in the bottom compartment of the fireplace and can be accessed by removing the
access panel on the bottom of the firebox and the two-piece access panel in the airbox below that.
2. Remove the bricks to expose the access panel, then remove the 8 bolts holding the access panel using a
7/16” socket or wrench (Figure 3).

the upper access opening.
5. Disconnect the wire leads of the blower you are replacing from the electrical terminal block located on the
base of the unit, between the blower brackets and the connection to the Thermo Switch (Figure 5).
