Boil-Off
« on: October 10, 2014, 01:42:18 PM »
I have an Empyre CPW 250 Deluxe II. I have had 3 boil-offs so far this year. I have discovered that the Solenoid on the Rear Draft Blower has been sticking, holding open the damper to the fan, allowing air to freely flow causing the boil-off. I just spoke with the folks over at Pro-Fab the makers, and they informed me that they had a bad batch of solenoids go through last year about the same time I replaced mine. They all had this same sticking problem. He advised me to clean it up, if it has any rust, (which it did not ), and give it a touch a touch of oil . If it continues once more, Replace it.
GOD Bless

Welcome to the site!  I would recommend replacing the solenoid if it has been sticking.  They are fairly cheap and it beats the permanent damage that could be caused by overheating your stove!

My solenoid stuck last year. Sprayed a little while lithium grease on it has not stuck since.
