  • First off, yes I should have unplugged the unit, that's on me. But I hope this video helps others avoid a potential shock, or even better ‪@MrHeaterTV‬ directs their manufacturer to review this data and hopefully fixes this for future units, maybe even sends customers a safer switch assembly.
    EDIT: ‪@MrHeaterTV‬ think this switch may be the cause of your many burning up of motors (exhaust and room blowers)... When this switch is OFF it allows 120V to flow through all of the motors and since the neutral is the fused lead any kind of short to ground will not be protected by the fuse, blow up the transistor on the board. I would prioritize this switch being corrected, and you should consider adding the ground wire to the controller (for the Y-Capacitors that I previously brought to your attention).. I would be willing to bet almost 90% of your failures start to go away after these two minor fixes.

    Thanks for posting this, I bought that same model about a month ago last Wednesday evening I turn it off and 10 minutes later smoke started to come up, I opened the side panel the next day and it looked like the exhaust motor burned up, I contacted customer service and explained the issue.
    They are going to send me a motor replacement and a motherboard as well im going to replace that plug too,
    I will update once I get the stove up and running again.
    Thank you!

      No problem. If you use the plug like I shared in the video and need help just send me a message. It has a few jumpers you need to install. And the spade connectors are locking (so don’t just yank on them) play with the new jumpers first (before removing the old it has the same locking spade connectors) there is a little unlock tab you need to press. Otherwise you risk damaging the stove by pulling the wires out of these goofy locking spade connectors.

      when you say "you turned it off" did you use the switch on the rear?

      Thanks I will ,
      When I turned it off I did on the control so it went thru the process of shutting down but I also noticed in the last week the stove wasn't heating up as much as before my guess is it was starting to go bad.
