Hello all
i acquired a house with a whitfield 11-tc.
I cleaned it went through it, fires and burns nice,all the controls work, i can stage up and down the flame and the blower but it wont shut off with the thermostat.. When the thermostat is satisfied the flame reduced down to about half and keeps throwing heat and wont fully shut down until the hopper is empty.when i disconnect the t-stat same thing and there is about 10 volts across the t- stat connection terminals . i also noticed the second the stove starts the hot air blower motor turns on even before the stove is lit thinking possibly an issue with the low limit switch.. but i dont know exactly how this stove should operate..is this normal?????
