Jotul gf 370 light/fan blinking.

[Jotulrob]

So my wife alerted me to the stove beeping in a continuous pattern while at work, I explained to her it was probably a dead battery warning. After replacing the batteries the beeping turned to clicking, same pattern. Turns out the clicking is the light and also the fan. No matter what I do I can’t get it to stop, the heater as far as flame operates correctly, it’s just the light and fan. Ideas? Thanks

My problem, exactly!?

Found the problem, on the board itself after the fuse is a tiny surface mounted diode. That has failed due to the unit being overfused from the factory possibly. I replaced the diode with a standard 4005 I believe and it works great. If you’re uncomfortable with the repair or need help get ahold of me.

Thanks, for the tip! Step one.... google diode?

Yup, I believe I put in a 4005. Are you able to solder?

Ha! I think it's time to call in a service call! At least I can point them in the right direction. Thanks

Hi JotulRob,
I'm having the same problem that you were having with the diode going bad, I went ahead and ordered the replacement diodes you recommended. However the only thing I'm stuck on is which way does the power flow in the circuit of this board, so as to ensure I install the diode facing the correct way. I was hoping you might be able to help me with this since you've already gone through all the trial and error with this project yourself and perhaps I may continue reaping the benefit of your experience. Thank you in advance for your time and you have already been a big help just through reading your previous posts in the forum.
