Normally it takes about 10 minutes. You have bypassed the snap disk? Sometimes it takes longer but not usually..

jburner,
You are correct! SAFETY FIRST PEOPLE! Someones life may be taken from use! We all say just bypass this! I think we all should consider that we may be dealing with a beginner. Someone with no electrical knowledge.
From now on, We should add the UNPLUG FIRST!
THIS IS NO JOKE!
jay
it is a quadrafire contour. SO if I bypass span disk one (purple leads) this should start the room blower correct?
Yes purple wires should be for the fan. Unplug it and add a jumper in there then plug back in. As soon as you call for heat convection blower should come on.
If that works, then I would let it run 30 mins, if no convection fan, replace the snap disc.

had the fluke on DC at first,thought it was a dc motor for some reason...once I pulled my head out I realized i had 120 to the motor so it is definiteley the convection motor. Any idea what these go for?
does anyone know what the convection fan item number is I have found both 812-3370 and 812-4900. so sights have one or the other listed as the correct one

Hey everyone. I'm new here. What do you mean when you say "create a jumper?" or, "bypass" something?

It means that you should probably call the dealer or an electrician or, if you stick your hands in there, call 911. Sorry, but I'm giving a wise crack way of saying that you probably shouldn't be messing with it if you don't even know how to jump two terminals together.

Got my thermostat hooked up and running without any major incidents. So, thanks.
I've done some electrical before...I think I was more confused by which terminals to use on the 5 wire thermostat I had vs. the 2 wire stove. But, I figured it out.

No problem. You just scared me with your question about jumpers. As for the thermostat, did you use the W and Rh terminals?

I am naturally inclined to be scared of Electric work, so I tend to be extra cautious!
Yes, I used the W and Rh terminals with a jumper between the Rh and Rc terminals.
It's working like a charm.

If you got the Ritetemp thermostat, you don't need the jumper between the Rh and Rc terminals since the little jumper at the top does that for you. Plus the stove doesn't cool..... looks cool, but doesn't cool..... ;-P
