hello all,
Having problems getting the thermal switch to go on in my merrimack. i cant get it to go on in under 2 hours. today they replaced the thermal switch and also installed a block off plate above the insert and used rokwool to insulate.
i have a theory as i am watching the fire roar right now with no fan on. the top of the merrimack is blazing hot, i guess do to the block off plate. which is good.
Anyway could my ashbed be causing the merrimack thermal switch not to go on? i know its located at the bottom mid section of the unit. my ashbed is a few inches high, could this thing actually be insulating the fan from going on? i have been told you need an ashbed to protect the floor? is this true? is there any realpurpose to the ashbed? I am going to try to remove much of the ashbed tommorrow and try again but i wanted to see if anyone had ideas.
