Breckwell 5520

[Laker]

Breckwell 5520 convection blower will ot shut off until you unplug stove. When you plug it back in it comes back on. What is the cause, the control panel?

Sounds like a voltage spike took out the board. You could pull the plug and remove the board and check for burnt traces & components. Maybe fix it yourself. More than likely need a new board

I was afraid of that

There's one thing I can think of other than the board. There's a possibility the low limit switch is stuck in the closed position. We carry Breckwells but I haven't done a lot of work on them.

How do you test the Lowe limit switch?

 

[Ssyko]

Yes your right Jeff, Sorry Laker try jumping the low limit switch by the combustion blower. My head is up well, not thinking straight.

How do you test the Lowe limit switch?

Unplug the stove , take a paperclip and connect the wires off the low limit switch. Turn stove on and see if it runs properly dont let the 2 wires connect to the stove it will ground out.. Dont run the stove that way permanently it is a safety feature. If stove does work order the switch

Both the combustion and convection blowers run continuously until the stove is unplugged

 

[JRemington]

Pull off one of the connections to the switch. Start the stove. After 5 minutes plug it back in. Run the stove for a half hour then shut it down.

 

[JRemington]

Or I guess the easier way would be to pull both sides of the switch when it's cold and take an ohm meter and see if the switch is open.

Ahhhhh both do. Ok somthing on the board got shorted. Which board do you have

The one on the left the Golden Eagle

Ok contrary to popular belief Eagle/breckwell/ Kozi/bosca boards are all the same boards just a diff faceplate. I just put a kozi board in my BIg-E works great. Its up to you

When I said both blower ran that was after I jumped the low limit switch

 

[JRemington]

Maybe I can sell him the board off the Previa to lighten the loss lol.

 

[JRemington]

Did you do what I suggested?

 

[Ssyko]

Ok i gotta fire up the pc my ipad cant keep up lol

 

[Laker]

Did you do what I suggested?

Yes I did I don't have a meter with me so I took off one wire for 5 minutes and re installed the let stove run for 30 minutes. Convection blower says on, on high speed until its unplugged

 

[JRemington]

After 5 minutes did the convection blower come on when you plugged it in?

Convection blower stays on high constantly, the stove works fine except convection blower stays on high speed will not shut off unless you unplug the stove!

 

[Ssyko]

Laker are you comfortable about pulling out your control board to ck the traces? my big-e got a spike this fall from lightning hitting my transformer at the pole (no i didn't have a surge protector then) it burned a couple traces (circled). unplug first

 

[JRemington]

I think we're caught between either a board issue or a low limit switch stuck in the closed position. Did you notice if the light went solid on your controls when you plugged the switch wire back in after the 5 minutes?

 

[Laker]

Want to thank you two for your help looks like I'm buying a control board

 

[JRemington]

I'm not so sure it's the board. Check the ohms on the low limit switch first. Do it when it's cold.
