Thanks in advance for the help!
The automatic blower on my wood stove insert is not working. It worked properly at least the last two winters. I don't think it is a problem with the blower itself, because the blower works in the manual setting. Past threads suggested too much ash build up impacting the sensor reading, but it's still not working even after vacuuming the ash. Where is the automatic temperature setting located? Is there anything else it could be? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

(The insert was here when we moved in two years ago so I'm not 100% sure of the model, but based on the manuals on the Regency site it looks like the Ci1150)
 
It could be a failed snap disk thermostat. They are innexpensive. It doesn't have to come from Regency as long as the replacement matches the specifications of the original.
 
Thanks so much for the quick response! It's hard to tell from the manual, but seems like I would have to take the door off and then take the big section below the door off as well to get to it?
Thanks again, happy holidays!
 
Yes, lift the door off of it's hinge pins, then remove the lower cast panel.
