I bought the aftermarket blower and once received, the whole thing is backwards. I can't even figure out how to use the old bracket on this thing because nothing matches up. It stated it fit my stove! Is there some special trick I'm missing?
Even though the OEM convection blower will fit both the 1200 Insert model and the 1200 Free Standing models there are different aftermarket convection blowers for each unit
