I have a Heatilator fireplace with a Roberston Control Model DS 845 control module. It is working fine but has a buzzing sound (loud) for at least 1/2 hour. It is definitely coming from the controller, is the old gal dyeing or just cranky?
 
Sorry, I can't help you. Someone else may have an idea. Those older DSI units were phased out before
I entered the hearth industry in 2000. The ONLY service work I did on them was to replace the valve &
Direct Spark Ignition system with a millivolt valve & standing pilot system.It wasn't cheap back then ($500+)
& it's probably a lot MORE now.
 
They're labeled NOT FIELD REPAIRABLE. I usually just get a new board.
