How do I clean the exhaust blower? Just undo the bolts and pull it out?
Hi Randy
Here is the Exhaust Fan removal steps for your stove. The Bay View is a Great Stove just like the one I rebuilt!
COMBUSTION FAN
Replacement Procedure:
NOTE: Always Disconnect Power Before Performing Service Work
You may find it easier to remove the appliance from the venting, if already installed, and
pull it away from the wall.
Tools Needed:
¼” Hex Nut setter & Driver 7/16” Thin Deep Socket & Driver Putty Knife or Scraper
Side Cutters or Knife RTV Silicone - supplied
Removal Steps
1. Unplug the stove power cord from the wall outlet.
2. To gain access to the inside of the appliance, remove the ¼” hex screws from the LEFT HAND
SIDE PANEL. These are located on the back left hand side corner of the appliance.
3. Remove the ¼” hex screw holding the wire harness clamp and the Green GROUND WIRE from
the combustion fan. This is located on the base of the appliance and off to the left of the fan.
4. Carefully disconnect the Blue and Double White wires from the IGNITER/LOW Limit switch (L120)
located on the combustion fan.. Be sure to hold firmly on both sides of each connection, then
wiggle and pull free.
5. For ease of fan removal it may be necessary to disconnect the Brown and Double White wires from
the HI Limit Switch (L250) and the Double Orange and Black wires from the FAN Limit Switch
(F140). These switches are located on the back of the firewall.
6. For further ease of fan removal, you may find it necessary to disconnect the AIR TUBE from the
Vacuum Switch.
7. Disconnect the Yellow and Double White wires from the Black Combustion Fan connections. You
may have to use your side cutters to cut any wire clamps.
8. Remove the 4 x 7/16” nuts that attach the combustion fan to the exhaust mounting.
9. Remove the used 1/8” fibre gasket and ensure the mounting manifold is clean of debris.
10. Unscrew the 4 - ¼” self-tapping hex screws holding the exhaust manifold to the combustion fan
housing. You will have to cut the RTV Silicone securing the manifold to the fan housing as well.
11. The Igniter Limit (L120) can remain mounted to the exhaust manifold, but if found on the fan
housing this will need to remove. Unscrew the 2 – ¼” self tapping screws.
