I have the older version of the Santa Fe. Has run great through several winters, but first start up after being off for the summer is now an adventure for the second time. Last year the augur wouldn't turn, until I'd taken various things apart and put them back together, something about which made it happy. This year ...
After being unplugged since last May, cleaned the outside pipe, cleaned out the inside of the stove, plugged it in (without the thermostat calling), and immediately the exhaust fan (to the outside, not the fan for interior circulation) starts running. Unplugged it, cleaned it some more, plugged it in again, and that fan starts right up. That fan, as I understand it, should only come on when the thermostat's calling or there's heat in the stove, neither of which is the case. What should I look at here?
