If your stove has the old Manual/Auto switch, it must be set to Auto or the exhaust blower will never shut off.

From the manual
The stove will not shut off.
w Make sure the AUTO/MANUAL switch is in the AUTO position. w Check the connections to the 120°F (49°C) temperature sensor and AUTO/MANUAL switch against the wiring diagram. w Check the 120°F (49°C) temperature sensor by removing one of the brown wires from the sensor. The unit should shut down right away as long as the switch is in the AUTO position. If the stove shuts down, replace the 120°F (49°C) sensor. If the stove does not shut down, test the switch. w To test the switch, the stove must be cold. With one of the brown wires removed from the 120°F (49°C) temperature sensor, remove the grey wire from the switch, the stove should shut down. If this is the result then replace the AUTO/MANUAL switch. w If the stove still does not shut off, replace the wiring harness

I'm sure you already know this, but if you decide to try the manual's troubleshooting steps, make sure you don't get bit by the A/C~.
Thanks for the replies.It was the sensor on the exhaust motor. i checked the connection and when i touched it it would turn on and off intermittently.I took it off and it fell apart in my hands.I happened to have a replacement and im back up and running.
