Default Bryant propane heater can't possibly be wired reversed (red LEDblinks constantly)

misinterpreting something obvious).

Heater worked last year (AFAIK).

It just started getting cold in California, so, the heater power
was turned on, and ... and ... and ... uh ... um ... no heat.

Thermostat batteries are good:

Heater power is on and the blower blows but the red led blinks
at a steady pace forever.

Checked that the switches inside were all on:

Checked that the fuse on the circuit board was good:

The sticker says constant flashes indicates reverse wiring:

But, there's no way the wiring was changed between last year & now.

Here's what it looks like inside:

I don't know where the model number is, so, I don't have a manual
yet.

Debugging suggestions are requested, and very helpful. Thanks!


Model number inside the case, in your machine
probably on the inner ceiling. As to reverse
polarity, you'd have to use a VOM to confirm
the black is hot, white is neutral.
