Bosca Spirit 500

Does anyone know why the fan doesn't kick on when it fires up. I have the auger and heat light that are flashing... I tried trouble shooting it I have had no luck

Your not the only one who's Bosca "spirit" has left. Have you tried to see if the fan is operational by applying power to via what some call a suicide cord?

 

[Big poppa]

The fan works if you override it
Someone stated I need a control board??

 

[Bioburner]

Do you have a copy of the manual and possibly the wiring schematic? I would look for a snap switch that activates the fan when stove comes to temp.

Will do... Be back I a few

This week has seen many stoves coming back to life. Could be a loose wire, vermin stuck in the works or the motor just stuck and close to needing to be or having bearings replaced.

High limit switch does exactly what?

 

[Bioburner]

If the stove comes up over temp it should shut the feed-stove down to prevent over firing and possible damage

So what switch tells the fan to kick on when it's hot ? I found nothing loose all secured.
Is it in the board?

I was hoping that a manual would show the switch that should activate the fan. Harman uses a Exhaust probe, Bixby turns the fan upon starting and temp probe in the exhaust ramps it up and down. Theres another Bosca with trouble and was hoping someone from that thread could chime in and clear up the wiring diagram

Thanks bioburner
The #3 red light in heat control keeps flashing
It has a troubleshooting chart I will try once more before I throw the towel in

After trouble shooting
Found that the ceramic snap disc took a crap
This was the issue
I replaced it and now it's working fine
Thank you bioburner for your help

Thanks for the feed back. Glad it was fairly cheap and easy.
