my installer just left he checked all the wiring and he said it was fine.... this unit is far from simple

[roxann]

slim is willing to come out. I feel I shouldn't have to pay out of pocket when this is a two month old unit. What happen to the warranty? Iv'e already paid out and them some!!

Yea they truly are very simple creatures!  Whenever the problem is found its gonna be something so simple....

I can't hardly fathom a dealer or someone showing uo and not being able to diagnose this???

I agree Scott, this is crazy. Roxann, we understand that it may seem like this unit is complicated but in reality, mechanically speaking, it is an extremely simple machine. Whoever has been doing the service work on it is making it out to be something that is extremely complicated but that is far from the truth. I wish I was close enough, I would like to just drive over there and fix it. The fan is not shutting off because it is still receiving power which is supplied by the aquastats. Hence the aquastats, especially the high limit aquastat, is not cutting the power. Why? I don't know without looking at it, using the multi meter and tracing wires.

 I have to agree, when the problem is found it will be something simple, may not seem like it right now but there are very few things that can be making it overheat.

[Scott7m]

Yea,this is about as simple as it could be

I wonder if, when it was installed, someone wired around the high limit aquastat out of ignorance or an attempt to make the unit work with a non-functioning high limit aquastat.

The installer tells me that there is no high limit on the stove and the dealer was just out there to change out the aqua-stat, I've never seen this unit up close as Bruce is pretty secretive at the shows, I guess now I know why. Roxann do you have the owners manual and is there a wiring schematic in it, if so can you scan and E-Mail it to me.

[roxann]

i'll look but the book don't show much one a good note no over heating last night

[roxann]

Bruce just phoned he said he will fix it and make it right

[slimjim]

  Great, I just spoke with him, he's on the right track.

Good that it looks like you are getting it fixed...hopefully.  My Heatmor has the two Honeywell aquastats.  One on left is for fan and on the right is for high limit.  I have my high limit set to turn my furnace fan on in the house to dissipate heat in the event of an overheat it turns on 120 volts to a wire(came from factory like this).  I used 12/3 wire underground and used the red wire to turn on the fan on - wired it back to the furnace with a transformer to lower voltage.  It went on twice my first year - once leaving the ash plug off and once not having the outer door shut tight.  Why is the house so warm? Oh S*T must be overheating again. 

Sure sounds like you have a bad aquastat for your burn fan.  Is the high limit wire hooked up to anything like mine is with a fan or alarm?  If it is not there is no way to cool it down or alert you to a problem until you walk out to look.

my house is cooling off and now the temp is lower hasn't gotten any hotter then 154 today and now dropped   to 140 the water light came on with out even over heating.. Rick just came over tested the wire all of them were hot and fan stayed on...

I posted the manual for you in an earlier post. Here it is again http://www.heatmor.com/Uploads/CSS_OM_guts_071012.pdf

It shows that you should have two aquastats, any reason why yours did not come with the high limit?
