Blaze King 7003 /8003 (om-Pegasus)

[Pat Booray]

Hi there,

I recently moved into a home that has a 1998 Blaze King 7003 /8003 gas stove. The fan unit is housed in the gas stove, and is plugged in to electrical from the back. The fan continually runs when it is plugged in, even after it starts blowing cold air into the room.

Does anyone have ideas on how to troubleshoot the automatic fan shut off?

Thanks

I'd try start with the snap disk.
If it has failed in the closed position, it needs replacement.
Unplug the power cord from the receptacle.
Remove the wiring from the disk & remove the disk.
Go to a room where there is no background noise.
Hold it with a pair of needle-nosed pliers & apply a
flame to the side that contacts the stove body.
If you hear a small "tink," it works...
If you hear nothing replace it.
Here's the schematic (Fig 5):

Hi! Great thought. Checked the snap disk and it "tinks"
any other ideas?

Hmmm...What happens if you reinstall the snap disk?
Same symptom?

Yes it just blows constantly if it is plugged in. Can't even hear/feel a difference when it is on the low or high settings

OK. Try pulling a wire off the rheostat.

Sorry not a great handylady - do you mean just detach any wire off the rheostat (knob at the bottom)?

Yep. Separate the red spade connectors...
