I've had mine out to lube the motor and eyeball the gearbox. I took it out as an assembly, like JZ mentioned. Piece of cake. Mine really quieted...
We'll be reading about this one in the papers...
It sure does. I have about 1/16" spacing on mine.
I get a similar noise, and agree it's all the gear reduction. I did notice that after I lubed both bushings for the VersaGrate rod, it got a lot...
That makes sense - if the switch was disconnected, the control would think the stove is cool and stop the fans. What I don't get is why you didn't...
Interesting! Which snap disc was it?
You might try a temporary jumper across the proof-of-fire switch - it might bring the fans on even with a cold stove. That's what I do on mine,...
Bought mine used in January 2011. It's been a great stove.
I hope this pot lasts at least until you get a good one! There are some great vids on YouTube about sewing machine timing - that's where I...
I fix sewing machines for friends, and it's interesting to see the range of quality between brands and models. And it warms the heart to see how...

I'm really glad you're on the mend - keep up the good work! My problems are minor compared to yours. This getting old crap is not for the weak or...
I didn't know about your stroke - hope you are getting fully recovered! Got some health issues here, too, but motoring on, one day at a time.
One day at a time, you know. Oil is cheap, and I can't sling pellet bags like I used to, so burning more oil. But I love it when the Croix is...
Spark bucket is plugged.
No doubt you have reset the control by unplugging it for a few minutes...:whistle:
Are you sure a button isn't being "pressed" by the shims?
I would not try to reshape the board, you may damage it. I'd try to be a bit imaginative and try to secure the board so that it's held flat -...
I have no idea what the #5 light means, AFAIK, only #2,#3, will blink. On mine, the blowers turn off when the vacuum switch is satisfied, and the...
Good move, IMO. Can the bearing itself be replaced? You'd have a good spare on hand, if so.
