Hi,
Just fired up the stove last night and noticed that the room's temp was not really corresponding to what I have the potentiometer set at (@70 degrees), the house thermostat was reading 75 and the stove was still running full tilt. Top of the stove was hot to the touch even with the blower running - don't remember that happening before. I think I have had the stove going on five years. I always operate the stove in room temp, not stove temp. The temp probe was not moved from its position last year- coiled up, off the back of stove - not touching the stove or wall. I replaced the temp probe last year - Labrador Retiever puppy. Does the temp controller/potentiometer in the control box need cleaning maybe, contacts dirty? Just seems that the thermostat "being off" is getting worse every year.
Thanks,
Bill
