Trying to repair older Thelin Thompson

[jj.williams]

Trying to repair my pellet stove its very clean and starts up fine. After about 15 minutes of nice clean adjustable burn, I hear a slight click and the machine goes down ( fan & Pellets supply) to the low position and the dial (rheostat) for the fan & pellets has no effect. It will not run high again until it has completely cooled off. It looks like the current parlour model, butt I believe it was built quite a while ago


Any help would be appreciate. Im on my own here. No one will come up to my area to service the machine

Sounds like a upper limit thermal switch is tripping. Have you called Thelin and asked them?

I have not attempted to call, But w/ your input I will call and see if they have the part for this old stove

Thank you
JJ

The switch may not be bad, just doing its job. Have you cleaned the room air blower and passages? You might not be moving enough room air through the stove, so it overheats. Just one of many causes of overheating. Also, it may be a generic switch you can get from many sources.
