The combustion blower is responsible for circulating air through the fire chamber, and if it is not working properly, the stove will not operate correctly. There are a few different things that can cause the combustion blower to fail, such as a clogged filter or a faulty motor. If you are seeing an error code on your stove, it is best to contact a qualified technician for assistance.
