I was given an early model Accentra pellet stove insert. I got it all cleaned up and put a new distribution fan in and installed it. As soon as I plug the unit in the distribution blower comes on full bore and stays on until I unplug the unit. Everything else works great. Any ideas on what is causing the fan to stay on. Thanks in advance for any help.

That schematic looks similar to the one in my insert. But this doesn’t necessarily tell me what turns the fan on and off. I think the distribution fan is not supposed to come on until the stove reaches a certain temperature. I might be mistaken. Any ideas on why it would come on right away?

Dataman had a vey good question! If it’s in test mode, the distribution motor will keep running. Make sure the feed rate dial is set at at least 1, most of us keep it at 4
If it is not in test mode and fan is still running full bore the esp may be bad reading a over heat scenario which will run blower to cool stove as a safety. I verify wiring is correct then replace the esp. If it still does it replace the board. I replace esp when I do a board as a rule anyway that way you have updated all the controls and reduces call backs. A dirty esp will not cause this scenario.
