I have a England Stove Works 55-TRPIP and seems just started this winter,my room blower shuts off often and for at least 15-20 mins at a time.. enough so that I'm having a hard time getting heat in my house..
I do the regular cleanings but is there something I'm missing? Where is the heat sensor and can it be cleaned or adjusted?
Any ideas would be great.

Sounds like the blower is getting hot and the thermal switch in the motor is shutting it down. Try taking the room blower out of the stove and use compressed air and blow the dust bunnies out of the motor and housing. Unplug the stove after it cools down to do this.
The heat sensor/ thermister is the fiberglass braded lines off the control board following them will lead you to the business end and the screw that holds it

Also, check the "bottom 3 buttons" and make sure the Air On Temperature was set to 1. My 25 PDV did the smae thing a couple of years ago and somehow it had been bumped up (don't remember to what). Setting it back to 1 and all was happy again.
