Why my Pellet stove take so long for the exhaust fan to cut out after shut down?

[Randy]

Hi, I installed a low limit switch on my pellet stove exhaust fan and the stove takes longer for the fan to cut out after shut down than it did with the original limit switch. original 25 min. now 50 min. Can I change this somehow? Is it the switch or type of switch? Do I need a ceramic switch?Thanks in advance. Randy!!

Need more information Randy. Type of stove and part number of the switch that you used as a replacement. Was it the same OEM switch? It's a good idea to put the name and type of stove in your signature area.

Sorry my stove is a Danson glowboy bayview. It is a after market switch I am guessing......

First thing I see using the numbers you provided is that KS-5-100-1340 is a "GLOW BOY & PELPRO IGNITER LIMIT SWITCH [PP3102] KS5100-1340" switch and not a low limit switch. Or am I reading this wrong? It may be the right one but the part numbers don't make sense as they do have a part number for a low limit switch and a different one for an igniter limit switch.

Second, read this post as it may help you with your issue.

"This means the switch must be a "close on rise" of course there may be exceptions so check your manual. The other type is "open on rise" which is used in a Pelpro because there is a seperate "close on rise" Fan limit switch!"
