Why Replace Your Blower?
An aging or malfunctioning exhaust blower can lead to several issues, including:
- Excessive noise (metal-on-metal screeching)
- Incomplete pellet combustion, leading to wasted fuel
- Increased ash buildup in the burn area
- Reduced heating efficiency
Replacing your old blower with a new Adviace unit can significantly improve your stove's performance, resulting in quieter operation, more efficient burning, and reduced maintenance.

Setup and Installation
Disclaimer: Installation of this part should only be performed by individuals with appropriate mechanical and electrical knowledge. Always disconnect power to the pellet stove before beginning any installation or maintenance. Refer to your specific pellet stove's service manual for detailed instructions and safety precautions.
- Safety First: Ensure the pellet stove is completely cool and disconnected from all power sources (unplugged from the wall outlet).
- Access the Blower: Locate the existing combustion exhaust blower on your pellet stove. This typically involves removing access panels or covers. Consult your stove's manual for exact location and removal procedures.
- Disconnect Wiring: Carefully disconnect the electrical wiring from the old blower. Note the orientation of the wires if they are not color-coded or if your stove uses spade plugs instead of a molex connector. If your stove has older spade plugs, you will need to adapt the new blower's molex plug or replace the spade plugs on the stove's wiring with a molex connector.
- Remove Old Blower: Unbolt or unfasten the old blower from its mounting. Be mindful of any gaskets that may be present.
- Prepare New Blower: Ensure the new Adviace blower has the correct gaskets installed (housing to stove gasket, motor to housing gasket). These are included with your purchase.
- Install New Blower: Mount the new blower in the same position as the old one, ensuring a secure fit. Tighten all fasteners appropriately.
- Connect Wiring: Reconnect the electrical wiring to the new blower. Double-check all connections for security and correct polarity.
- Reassemble Stove: Replace any access panels or covers that were removed.
- Test Operation: Plug the pellet stove back into the power outlet. Follow your stove's normal startup procedure to test the new blower. Listen for smooth, quiet operation and observe proper combustion.
If you encounter any difficulties or are unsure about any step, it is recommended to consult a qualified technician.
Operating Instructions
The combustion exhaust blower operates automatically as part of your pellet stove's normal cycle. Its primary function is to create a negative draft, drawing air through the burn pot and expelling exhaust gases. Proper operation of the blower is crucial for efficient and safe combustion.
- Startup: Upon initiating the stove's startup sequence, the blower will activate to establish the necessary draft for ignition.
- During Operation: The blower will continuously adjust its speed based on the stove's heat setting and combustion requirements, maintaining optimal airflow.
- Shutdown: When the stove is turned off, the blower will continue to run for a period to cool down the system and clear any remaining exhaust gases before shutting off.
Note: If you notice unusual noises, reduced heat output, or excessive smoke, refer to the Troubleshooting section.
Maintenance
Regular maintenance of your pellet stove, including the combustion exhaust blower, is essential for longevity and efficient operation. While the Adviace blower features sealed ball bearings that require no lubrication, periodic inspection is recommended.
- Annual Inspection: At least once a year, or more frequently with heavy use, inspect the blower for any signs of wear, damage, or excessive dust/ash buildup on the fan blades.
- Cleaning: If accessible, carefully clean any dust or ash from the fan blades and housing using a soft brush or vacuum cleaner. Ensure the stove is cool and unplugged before cleaning.
- Gasket Integrity: Check the integrity of the gaskets around the blower housing. Worn or damaged gaskets can lead to air leaks, affecting stove performance. Replace gaskets as needed.
- Wiring Check: Verify that all electrical connections to the blower are secure and free from corrosion or damage.
Do not attempt to lubricate the sealed bearings, as this can damage the motor.
