Have had it for about 8 years. I suspect it is around 20 years old. it has the thermostat mounted in the right side air inlet.
It has a few issues. First off, when I bought it, first thing I did was plug it in to test the blower. It did not come on. It did not occur to me at the time that is normal, so I started fiddling with the wiring until I "fixed" it (running cold).
As soon as I got a got it heated up, it shut off. That is when I realized I screwed up!
I have found wiring diagrams on line, but haven't been able to solve this problem. I suspect this is because the thermostat is bad. It's current mode is, it runs continually cold, but, it cycles on/off when hot. Been living with it, but would like to fix.
The second problem is the noisy motor. I replaced a bearing and have added oil to the oil hole. It spins freely and is quiet when I run it out of the stove, but, it rattles rather loudly when in the stove.
I suspect my best option may be to replace the entire blower system, including motor, fan and T-stat.
What say you folks? Any recommendations on where to buy them?
