[QUOTE="ProDave, post: 503380, member: 6969"] My guess is the bearings have gone stiff and the motor is struggling to turn the fan and hence it is getting hot and bothered. Put those thermostats back into circuit. They are a safety feature to stop the heater overheating and catching fire if the fan stops. As above I suspect the fan is rotating too slow so it is getting too hot hence the thermostats are cutting out. You might try just lubricating the bearings first to see if you can get it spinning freely. [/QUOTE]
