I sold my house with my Revere in it, but I believe that the sensor is right in the middle of the fan unit at the bottom of the firebox where the air control handle is. When we took our fan off to clean it once we didn’t tighten it quite enough when we put it back in, and that caused problems with the sensor until we tightened it properly. I remember it was a pain to do because of the location. Maybe try tightening things down there and see if it helps. Also, possibly there is packed ash caked under the front lip or something that is providing a little extra insulation. I’m afraid that’s the best I can offer.
