Blower problem

[joegreen]

Hi there,

We bough a Regency F2400M wood stove with a blower in Oct 2016. Blower starts fine when stove reaches certain temperature. The blower stops and starts about 5 to 6 times before shutting off completely when stove is not too hot. Any idea what could be wrong?

There is a snap-disk thermostat that controls the blower. It is either loose and losing contact with the stove body or failing slowly.

Does it work fine in manual mode

Yes it works in manual mode. When I turn the blower switch off the blower stops.

Yes but does it stay running the whole time when it's on in manual mode. If it does it is probably either the snap disc isn't contacting the stove body or that disc is bad. If it still randomly shuts down on manual the fan motor is bad. What you described is almost always fixed by adjusting the snap disk so it touches the stove body
