Hello,
I have a St Croix York insert, I bought it used and I've used it for 2 seasons, I believe it is a 2005.
The stove runs fine, but for some reason when I power it off, the exhaust/combustion fan will continue to run indefinitely until the unit is unplugged. Also, when I plug it in, the combustion fan turns right on, without the unit being turned on with the power button. It used only power on after turning on the power button and it would turn off on it's own after it cooled. Now, I usually unplug it after the room fan turns off, because I know it is cool at that point, but this is really a hassle, I'd love to just press the power button and not have to worry, also I planned on putting in a thermostat and run it on auto eventually, but the fan is just going to run all day.
Do you think that a new control board will fix this problem?
When I first bought the stove it didn't have this problem, the exhaust fan would turn off on its own, without having to unplug the unit. I don't know what happened. Also, in your replies, please try to speak in layman's term, I am somewhat handy and a DIY'er, but I am not that knowledgeable with electronics.
Thanks in advance for your help,
Dan
