Install Instructions For Harman Distribution Blower: 1-00-29145
XXV/ Accentra-Cast units made without a rocker switch will ONLY have wires connecting for the Dark Blue and White. The spade on the motor for the red wire MUST be capped to prevent an accidental shorting of the circuit. Connecting a blank female wire terminal is the easiest way to do this.
Accentra Freestanding Instructions:
• Disconnect the stove from electrical power.
• Remove the rear access panels from the stove.
• Remove the two 5/16" screws that hold the bottom screen in place.
• Cut the wire tie that holds the power cord. Lay the assembly to the side as far as the power cord permits.
• Remove the two 1/4" bolts that hold the blower and the mounting plate.
• If the old blower is
- Bay Motor, all blower wires get cut as close to the blower as possible.
- EBM, the wire terminals will disconnect from the blower.
• Remove the old blower from the mounting plate and replace with the new blower.
• Set the blower assembly back into place.
• Strip the wires and install supplied terminals onto the wires that were cut.
• Connect the wires to the proper terminals on the blower motor.
- Light blue or white wire goes to terminal #1.
- Dark blue or black wire goes to terminal #2.
- Red wire goes to terminal #3.
- Green wire goes to the ground post.
• Tie the wires together to keep them away from any moving parts or any sharp edges.
• Install the bolts and washers that hold the blower assembly in place. Check that the ground wire and the post on the blower have clearance to the shield. If they touch, gently bend the ground post out of the way.
• Install the bottom screen onto the stove and secure it with the screws that were removed.
• Tie the power cord to the original location.
• Replace the rear access panels.
• Restore electrical power to the stove.
• Turn the feed knob to test mode. Verify the blower speed slows down when switching from high to low on the rocker switch. If it does not, reverse the top and bottom wires on the rocker switch.
