I've researched many of the threads concerning issues such as this on this forum. The Bosca Spirit 500 has four settings. I do not use settings one (stove doesn't run well on this setting) and four (setting not to be used for more than 30 minutes). I use setting two 75% of the time and setting three the other 25% of the time when temps hit the low 20's or colder.
About a week ago, when the stove was switched to setting 3, it would shut down after about 3 hours. Here is a list of all that I've done in the last week:
1. Convection blower removed and cleaned
2. Combustion blower removed and cleaned
3. Stove deep cleaned to include exchanger tubes and venting
4. Door seals checked - OK
5. Burn pot seal checked - OK
6. OAK hose removed and cleaned
7. Vacuum hose checked for blockage - OK
The only thing that caught my attention in completing all of these things was the convection blower had quite a large dust hairball on the fins of the fan. I was convinced that was my problem as that would reduce the amount of airflow considerably. However, I still have the same issue after cleaning the blower.
Have a I missed cleaning something? Is my high limit switch beginning to go bad? I should add that the stove runs great on setting 2.
Thank you for any input you may have.
