hello all, i cleaned my stove at the end of last year and gave it a once over a few weeks ago in anticipation of using it for my 3rd year. the last few days i've been using it all day and when i was playing w the blower fan speed i noticed nothing was changing. the only way i can get the fan speed to go down is to go below the L (dial is off > L > H) in between off and L. then the fan goes down to low speed. i thought no biggie.... but today i had the stove set at ~68deg and looked at the thermostat on the wall and it said 80deg. the stove hadn't cycled off but it was at a VERY low maint burn most of the day. upstairs i was at 75deg.

I'm thinking something is up now that the thermostat and blower fan settings don't seem like they were last year. there's a slight chance it's just me but i'm thinking long and hard and don't remember anything like this last year. at the same time i went through about a bag today w/ 1850sqft ~32 deg all day w/ lowes cheat river pellets.

I think i should still have some warranty yet but wanted to see what the forum thought. thanks much!
