RSF Opel2 Fan

[sarwilky]

Hello. I have an RSF Opel 2, not connected to central heating, but it has the "auto" fan that turns on when the stove hits a certain temperature. When i first bought it, the fan turned on within 30 minutes. It now takes 2-3 hours… nothing else is different (that i am aware of?). Is there a way to set the sensitivity of the fan? Is there some other problem that could be affecting this?
Any feedback would be much appreciated!

The thermodisc (sensor) for the fan is underneath, near the right side of the ash pan if you have one and near the electrical junction box, (beside or behind) usually mounted with a magnet or a spring clip and should be near the bottom of the firebox floor. The closer it is to the metal (firebox floor) the sooner it will come on. When installed I think it should be set approx 1/4 inch from metal. What ever distance you have it should be less to have it come on sooner.

Good luck
