Horton Fan

[Donald Spithaler]

Is this the only sensor that would cause the fan to cycle? The other day when I was out it was cold & I didn't think it should be cycling on & off. I'll try that to see if the sensor is the problem. I want to get it fixed

Hi Don,



With the Outside Temps in Pennsylvania, the 3208 should not get hot

enough to trip the fan temp sensor, Unless you can put a heavy load

on in the foothills. Our 88 FC trips at about 190/195 and quickly

returns to 180/185. Some one may have changed the sensor, the temp

may be stamped on the sensor, But you will probably need to remove it.

The only other way that I am avare of; is to put it is a pot of

water with Ohm meter wires attached, and with another mechanical

thermometer, and gradually raise the temp. This will check the

switching temp.
