whitfield fan stops

[alex123]

I just got a whitfield pellet stove.. I got no clue what model.. Its freestanding , it has knobs for the blower and heat output on a silver metal board on the right side.i would say its 10-15 years old but in very good shape .. the po stated they never used it. i hooked it up and all is well. I direct vented it. if i run it for a while the heat fan or blower will shut off.. the auger stays goin and the exhaust fan stays goin.. sometimes it will come back on in like 15 20 min.. or after a bit if i press the start button it will kick on again.. If i run it on heat output 2 -5 it happens quicker.. is this is normal or is it over heating? if so i would think the auger would stop feeding? it runs fine during this its just the heat blower that stops.. any clues???
thank you

IT sounds like the fan itself may be overheating and shutting down. This a great site for a maintenance guide: http://www.hearthtools.com/parts/whitclean.htm
