I just bought a king 5510 brand new and during the initial dry run wich is suggested in the manual the draft fan kicked on and ran great for all of about 7 minutes then began to kick on and off rapidly. I went ahead and started the fire and everything else runs great but the draft fan still just rapidly kicks on and off. I tried setting it manually and still no change. Is this normal? Any suggestions???
 
i have a 5510 and mine does the same thing.
 
Thats the way the 5510 runs its draft. If you turn the draft numbers up you will see that the fan is on longer then when it set to the lower numbers.
 
Yup. Thats how they run. Just constant cycling.
