Anyone here have one? Here's the deal...mine was new '07, started running it oh say Nov. I ran the fan's constantly, for I burned alot of wood.
In the last couple wks, the fans started making a familiar metal-making sound, and getting noisy. Last night I have shut it off until I get to the fans to see what the hell is going on. It could possibly be a restriction from debris...I don't know yet.
What I'm doing with this thread, is to keep whoevers interested in this unit, watching until I resolve the issue. Whether it be restiction or fan replacement, I would imagine the company will get involved. If it's the fan, these little squirrel cage blowers shouldn't fail for years...not for a $3600 F/P. Stay tuned.
