I own a profile 20 and a st croix JOHN DEERE EDITION and my profile 20 for the last few weeks gives me problems....feels like fan for combustion is lacking voltage or turns slower tha usual,pellets are gathering in grate and grate is overflowing after fews hours of heat.Unplugged motor from stove and jumped wire to ac outlet and problem seem to be resolved.Is power controlled by the electronic control...would control not sending enough power to fan.................just joined that forum and it is a great help...thks a merry xmas

If the fan motor is not running at speed, check the voltage coming from the board to the motor.
Many stoves vary the fan speed slightly to control the air to the firepot based on the fuel (heat setting)
If the voltage is too low and the speed is too low therein lies the problem.
The control board will have a Triac on it to control motor speeds.
If the triac starts to fail your motor speeds will go all goofy.
