Going to have to be more specific. Lots of guys on here willing to help. Start with your setup. What kind of heating methods are in the house? What are your loads? Pumps? Then what are the specific issues you have? Over heating can be caused by several reasons. Need a few more symptoms.

Your aquastat on the stove is sticking most likely. The aquastat tells the fan to turn on when the water temp reaches a certain point and tells it when to turn off when it reaches a certain point. When the stove overheats try tapping the aquastat lightly with a hammer. Ussually this will get it to release and the aquastat will break the connection to the fan and it will shut off. As far as the unit only heating the house to 56 we can tackle those problems but we need to first fix the overheating issue. After you fix that please let us know what the temperature of the incoming pipe from the owb to the water to water heat exchanger and what the outgoing temp back to the owb is. Also what is the temp of the incoming and outgoing lines on the house side of the water to water hx. If you have any questions about this just ask and we will help.

Loads are your square footage of your house, heating domestic hot water, garage, basement, good/fair/poor insulation, things like that. What part of the county are you in?

A bad aquastat can def cause what you describe. Is your unit under warranty? How old is it?

I'm not familiar with baseboard, but I think the guys who are will ask you how many linear feet of baseboard you have. What pump are you running?

Roxann, where are you in Maine? I am just west of Biddeford Maine and I know the distributor for Heatmor here, did you buy the stove from Bruce or one of his dealers?

Roxann, Richard should hopefully be able to maybe help you out with getting in contact with your dealer. It is a REAL shame that your unit is 2 months old and you have been abandoned by him like this. The flapper is open and shut by a solenoid which is controlled by the aquastat. If the unit is two months old please get in contact with that dealer, everything is under warranty. Hopefully he will be honest enough to come out and help you with your issues. If not we are always here to help.
