I have a Blackwell P2000I pellet stove that I purchased new in 2000 that won't run on low speed fan speed at any settings.
I replaced the circuit board and have the same results. I changed the convection blower with Fasco motor and same results.
Stove works fine but can't get motor to work in low speed.Any help or suggestions would be appreciated
 
New board and new motor and installed at the same time and still no go hmm? Well, there's only one more thing that hasnt changed....wiring harness. I'm assuming digital control board. If it's an analog board yer going to have a F160-40 fan switch somewhere.
 
What's your voltage in to the unit? Yer not using a 150' extension cord to power this thing are you?
Yes, it's a digital control board.
No extension cord at all. The stove is plugged into surge supressor that is pluged into wall recepticle.
Also, I thought it might have been the surge supressor ,but I plugged stove directly into wall recepticle and still gotten same results.
Well sounds like i'll try replacing the wiring harness .
I do appreciate your response.
 
its your pellets
I have the same stove & I burn stove chow, occasionally I will put it on setting 1 & it will go out, the pellets are larger than others, & the smaller pellets dump more pellets per turn of the auger than larger pellets will.
buy some hammers & try low speed, if it works, youll know for sure

It's not the pellets all I burn are Hammer's
Fan will not work at low speed on any settings.
 
Any repairs done right before this happened?Cannot see it being the harness unless someone changed something.Are you running a t-stat?If so unhook at board,switch to man. and try.Just some thoughts.
