Blower replacement may be done through either the fi rebox or from the rear of the appliance. Using the rear panel
is recommended.
INSTALLATION THROUGH THE REAR PANEL :

• Turn off the electrical power and the gas supply to the appliance.
• Remove the two combustion air covers and gaskets held on with 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.
FOR MODEL GS28
• Turn off the electrical power and the gas supply to
the appliance.
• Remove the 8 screws securing the air intake
manifolds to the rear panel. 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.

When replacing the rear panel, ensure that the wires are neither pinched nor interfere with the blower

INSTALLATION THROUGH THE FIREBOX:
REPLACEMENT BLOWER ACCESS GASKET IS REQUIRED.
• Turn off the electrical power and the gas supply to the appliance.
• Open the lower control door, the two side doors, and the fi re viewing door. Remove the logs.
• Remove the blower access plate held on with 8 screws.
• Disconnect the two blower wires. Remove the blower
bracket held on with 2 screws.

the bracket/blower assembly on the appliance.
• Reconnect the two wires. Hold the replacement gasket in
place and reattach the blower access plate. Replace the
logs. Close all doors.
Turn the gas supply and electricity back on.
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.
