fan speed control(rheostat?)

[stinger68]

Hi guys i just went to turn down the blower fan on my enviro ef3 freestanding stove and when i tried to turn it down it staye the same.It must be on full tilt stuck and only changes when i turn the switch all the way off and its off but wheni turn back on it even on very beginning it is full tilt.So this means the switch controlling the fan is gone? is there a way of confirming that before i replace any parts?thanks again for replies.

If your fan is turned off, does it kick on automatically if the stove gets too hot?

most Enviro stoves have a 160 deg limi switch that will kick in if the stove gets hot.
this is an override for when people shut off the blower.
so if this is when the stove is cold most likely the switch is bad.

it is the limit switch that has two purple wires going to it.

Is there anyway to jimmy up the switch control on the fan that controls the warm air flow? Can it be taken apart and adjusted until the new 1 that i had to get ordered comes in?Or just leave it alone altogether its on high and leave it be as is? Thanks again for any info
