Hi Guys - Thanks for your help in the past and please give our latest issue a passing glance if possible. Tonight while our stove was running, the convection fan started cutting out - sometimes for 15 seconds or so, then for 5 seconds, 10 seconds etc. After a few minutes of this, I shut the stove off and the convection fan continued to turn on and off until the stove cooled off enough for it to end it's cycle. As far as I can tell, the combustion fan did not stop while the convection fan was going on-off-on. I should have, but did not, check to see if the pellets were still feeding when the convection fan started acting up.
We've had the stove since 1995 and I've replaced the convection fan twice (the current fan is probably 3-4 years old). Both times, the fan began to squeal loudly - which makes the issue more confusing. If it was the bearing going bad, wouldn't it squeal like the others did? I'm planning to clean the stove and start it up again to see if the auger is feeding pellets and if the convection fan acts up again. Any advice would appreciated. Thanks.
