Hi everyone
I was gifted a nice harman accentra 2 pellet stove the other day. The previous user said the distribution blower seemed weak and may need replacing before long.
I got it installed, and it burned fine but the blower didn’t move at all, so I pulled it out and gave it a thorough cleaning. It started blowing once the stove got up to temperature.
Next day: stove burning nicely, but no blower again. I gave it a little nudge and it started blowing. The high and low speed range switch also served to turn the blower off when set to H and let it run when set to L. This problem went away a few minutes later.
I’m ready to believe that the blower is on its way out, but Im using it in my shed so I’m not that concerned for perfect performance.
my real question here is this: is the blower speed controlled by a thermostat, or are is the speed just high/low? My shed isn’t insulated, so the stove will never be able to keep up past maybe 55 degrees, but more blower would be nice- if it’s possible. I’m new to pellets so this might just be how it is.
Thanks In advance!!
