Good morning,
I bought a englander 25-pdvc this year. It heats my home well, and loved the price.
After first startup it ran fine for two days then I started to notice the convection blower slowly started to get louder every day until the blower howled so bad the dog and cats would not come out of the basement.I called England stove works explained issues and they sent me a new blower and it got here in 2 days. I swapped out the blower and it ran quiet for 2 days then this motor did the same as the other and this blower stopped running on speed 1 and 2. I called customer service again and of course they sent me another blower.
Now I'm sitting here on thanksgiving morning stairing at the new motor waiting for my stove to cool down so I can install this new motor that I'm sure will fail to....I have been running my stove on the lowest settings and noticed when looking in the back of the stove the convection motor is within 1 inch of the burn box, I was able to reach in and touch the motor and it was so hot you would burn your fingers. I'm convinced the heat is ruining these motors 1 at a time...when I go in there I'm gonna see if I can rig a heat shield to keep some heat off the motor.. The customer service is very nice, they love to throw parts at the problem and when you tell them you been reading about the tons of blower issues they been having they do no admit it at all and won't even address the issue I'm told they have 400,000 units on the market. So in ending I'll let you know in a few days how this blower turned out, any body else have blower issues?
