Questions and answers
The hose from the pressure sensor switch came undone causing the P code. Where does the hose from The pressure switch connect to? It appears to have a brass fitting at the end of the rubber hose. Just trying to understand where it could go and get this stove working again. Fp45
The hose from the pressure sensor switch on the Flame FP-45 stove connects to the pressure switch probe located inside the exhaust blower housing.

@Mr. Anderson the hose does not seem to be able to get inside there ... it seems to have a brass fitting on the end of the hose and came loose or disconnected while removing hose to blow through it. I just am at a loss as to how to get it back or if because the brass on the end is broken?
@Mr. Anderson should it just plug back in then? Sorry just not sure as I've pulled it off the pressure switch many times. It appears from what I thought as it just sat literally on top of the motor directly beside the air pressure switch. It does have a tiny hole in the end of the what looks like brass end.
@Mr. Anderson this is the picture basically unable to understand where the hose could attach to. Even in the diagram it looks to dissappear
