Lopi Declaration thermal sensor

I have had my Lopi Declaration for about 4 years and I love it.

yesterday the blower shut off when cool, as expected, but made a louder than usual CLICKING sound. Since then I cannot get the blower to come back on no matter how hot I get the unit (even Red hot).

I am assuming it is a failed thermal sensor. Can someone direct me to where the sensor might be on this unit so I can buz it out to verify that this is the source of failure.

Also, are these sensors normal Open, or Normal Closed?

it would probably save me a lot of posting in the future if I could be directed to a source for the service manual for this unit.

Thanx in advance,
DCE

Still need to know about the NO or NC question and where to get a service manual, but found the location of the sensor in another thread.

any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanx,
DCE

thanx for everything, you are the man. just what I would expect from an Engineer.

I did my undergrad work in electrical engineering, and grad work in computer engineering.

how about you?
