So over the last couple days our 55 TRPH has started running the blower for a bit as soon as it kicks on to start up. It hasn't done this before. Obviously it is supposed to not turn on until the stove is lit and creating heat. I feel like this might be an indication that something is wrong or about to be wrong?? So far this is the only symptom I have noticed out of the ordinary.

Any ideas would be great, Thanks!
 
How old is the stove? You may want to check/replace the thermal sensor as that is what controls the room blower in conjunction with the board.

England Stove Works, the manufacturer, has a good track record for support service. Here's some of their troubleshooting links

Thank you, I will research that further. I figured it is a symptom of something bigger and since it is our only source of heat we can't have a breakdown :)
