At the lower right of the Reply page, you'll see tabs. Click the middle tab "Go Advanced" then below the window you type in you'll see "manage attachments". Click that then follow the text boxes for selecting, uploading and attaching files. If this power vent blows out, it is illegal. If it is a wall mounted exterior exhaust then it may be ok. Meanwhile, can you provide make and model of PV?

not the blower motor, but the burner motor. how do you reset it and why are you blaming the motor?

It could be that when they installed the power vent they wired it through the cad cell relay. The relay may be timing out before the pressure switch makes burner starts and flame is proven, or any other number of things like misadjustment, dirty, etc.
Yes, motor just stops No testing done Unit is an: OLSEN Model # MPL 120 Rated at 117,000 btu/hr Homeowner refuses to allow PV installer back on property after they left all install debris down in crawl space (ugh) Took a couple pics. Trying to figure out how to attach or embed
