Blaze King Fan Problem ? (2024)

FAQs

Why is my pellet stove fan not kicking on? ›

Probable cause: The pellet vent is clogged. Either the motors are dirty or need replacing. If a blower requires replacing, ensure to identify which blower (convection – pushes heat into the home whereas combustion - pushes exhaust outside; or auger motor - feeds pellets into the burn pot).

When the fan on your range hood stops working, the two most common problems are a broken on and off switch and a burned out fan motor. Unless you feel secure in your repair skills, hiring a repairman to fix these issues may be your best option.

Cracks or loose mortar can allow hot gases to reach the wood portion of the structure surrounding the chimney. These toxic gases may also re-enter the house through cracks and small holes in the chimney, or cause back-puffing which will result in excessive smoking.

The secret is the thermoelectric motor. When the temperature difference between the base and the top of the wood stove fan, it generates a low voltage which makes the blades run. Therefore, if the voltage is too low to operate the fan, the wood stove fan will not work.

How long does a stove fan last? Your stove fan will last for years if you look after it. Mileage may vary, though, as cheaper models often overheat and stop working. To get the most out of your stove fan, use a thermometer to prevent overheating, and dust it once a month to keep it in tip-top shape.

The Peltier device generates electricity by having one side hot and the other side cooler (known as a 'thermal difference'). This temperature difference creates a 'potential difference' (a voltage) in the circuit. This voltage powers the motor, which in turn drives the fan.

Repairing or replacing a fan costs $100 to $275. A failed fan can cause the oven or the control board to overheat. Other symptoms of a broken fan can be hot spots, the oven getting too hot, or the whole oven breaking down.

Blaze King models feature a bimetal coil thermostat This simple thermostat evens out the uneven nature of burning wood. Blaze King owners typically only adjust their thermostats once or twice and day. Nearly all other wood stoves have a damper to regulate air-flow and require more frequent adjusting.

A fireplace without a fan will still work safely and effectively utilizing radiant heat to warm up the room & home. During a power outage all wood and direct vent gas fireplaces, Inserts and stoves will continue to work safely producing radiant heat without the need for a fan.

What powers a log burner fan? ›

A log burner fan is driven by the heat produced when the stove is on and the thermoelectric energy conducted by the Peltier module. This means they are self-powered devices and therefore don't require batteries or an electric mains source to function. This helps you preserve energy and save money simultaneously.

All the items you measured are not an issue, I have had pellet stoves in the past and the convection blower would usually start in about 5 to 8 minutes after the fire is fully ignited.

This depends on the grill. The fan on non-WiFIRE grills should run continuously. The fan on grills that have WiFIRE does cycle on and off during startup.

Plug the test wire into a power strip with the power switched off, then plug the power strip into the wall. Stabilize the convection blower and turn the surge protector on. The fan should spin with low noise and vibration.
