Hello all...so here's my issue...my j1000 insert exhaust fan took a dump at the end of last winter..I recently installed a new fan last week...as I bench tested it, I realized the fan rotation is going the wrong way....the old fan turned ccw and the new one turns cc....thinking I would need to get a new fan and dreading the labor I decided to first make some calls.
The first was to jamestown in canada...the expert said it should still work....my next call was an expert from an online pellet stove repair shop.....he said and I quote " it doesn't matter which direction the motor turns...either way it's going to draw from the front to the back...."...
The thing that gets me crazy is the fan is going in the opposite direction of the housing it's in...when I started the stove , it does vent out the exhaust but not with any ummfff...like you would think if the fan was going ccw...and now my glass is sooting up within the first hour of use......anyone have any thoughts.....help
