Hello, I'm brand new to the forum, this is a great resource for a new pellet stove owner, thanks in advance for all your contributions and advice.
I purchased a used 2006 St Croix York insert on craigslist early this winter, and it was running great, until one day, while running a fuse blew.
I changed the fuse and it blew again as soon as I plugged it in. I disconnected all the motors and put another new fuse in, I plugged them back in one at a time, unplugging in between connections. The fuse did not blow again after making all the connections, but shortly after the combustion fan would not turn off (I'm not sure if the problem started immediately after this incident or soon after). So, as soon as I plug in the unit, without even turning unit on, the combustion fan turns on, whereas before the fan would not turn until the stove was actually powered on. I use the stove in manual mode only, as there is no thermostat attached. Long after the stove cools down and the convection fan turns off, the combustion fan keeps running and does not shut off without unplugging unit. I have developed a pretty good understanding on how my stove works, but I have been through the manual, and I am not sure what actually controls the combustion fan powering on and off. The stove has been running great otherwise, but allowing the unit to cool down and then unplugging every night is such a hassle. I would appreciate any help in this matter.
Thanks,
Dan
