Check to see what mode the stove is in? The default is D.. If you haven't I can tell you how to check it.

If the stove is clean as a whistle, then it could also be a weak exhhaust blower. How old is the stove?

Shut your stove down let it cool, unplug the stove wait a min plug it back it and press the up and down arrows for the blower speed for a sec, a letter should come up in the heat range window if it's not d change it to that using the arrows.. Maybe some how it defaulted to a and now it's feeding way too much fuel.. Also it the exhaust pipe nice and clean? If that is dirty or blocked it could run bad as well..

Same here I've only owned my stove for 3 months but with this site I know this thing inside and out.. If it does anything out of the ordinary I already know what is wrong.. Haven't had any real issues yet.. I did have my combustion blower making some noise that I didn't like and had englander send me a new one under warranty.. But ya I have learned so much cause of this site

Hello

Your exhaust blower may be tired and is a little weak.

Englander has a very sofisticated air table burned into the EPROM to deliver the correct Air to Fuel mixture for each heat level. It is a very good control panel.

However, The exhaust blower is the average 1.0 amp closed frame blower that can be whiny and noisy. I recommend the quieter open frame higher current exhaust blower. The higher current blower is the the same 3,000 RPMs but is more consistant in speed at lower heat levels due to the greater current capability with more plates on the electro magnet!


Therefore, I would recommend the "Englander Low Drafter Kit". Just search for that in Google.

Good luck
