Hello, while I'm waiting for my new stove I'm trying to keep my 1990 Avalon working. When I shut the stove down for cleaning and let it cool then upon restart it only runs for a minute then shuts down(the blower fan). I have to push the "start" button a few times to restart the fan until the stove gets hot enough to keep running on it's own. Today, after cleaning it the blower would not come on after activating the "start" button when trying to restart it. I had to keep constant pressure on the "start" switch(momentary rocker type) for the whole time the stove was warming up( a few minutes solid) then it ran fine on it's own after it got hot enough. If I let off the button, it would stop
I suspect the source of the problem may be is it needs a thourough cleaning as I have now put 3 ton thru it with only minimal cleaning as I cannot take the fireboard out to access behind. Fireboard is so deteriorated it would crumble into pieces if I tried to remove it. I have a set on order to show up in5-7 days but until then I'd like to keep it running if possible without hurting it.
Can I possibly wire around the initial heat sensor or the switch on the back of the stove to get the stove going to hold me over until I get my Harman? Once stove is warmed up it keeps running good as long as it's got food coming in
any info or tips greatly appreciated, Thanks
