This just started happening about a month ago. When I turn my stove off - Periodically the fan will turn on and off. It turns on for about 5-7 minutes then shuts off. It will do this for hours. Any ideas?

Also, not sure if it's related. Every now and then when the stove is off I hear a clicking sound. The same sound the stove makes when I turn it on and off.

I shut it off, turn it on, used a different surge protector. I have no idea what's happening. The stove works fine, I'm just not sure this is leading to something worse.
 
MAybe a bad heat sensor, causing it to think there is still pellets burning ?

I'd check the proof of fire switch, maybe disconnect it for a while.
