Great video! Just bought a fan blower from you!

Great video! I just ordered a blower fan from you! It will be a warmer winter for us!

Just putting an audible ohmemeter could go faster but i get the point making the video for people's who dont have one , great video.

I do agere that the amazone fan isreal crapy product qualety,,but if your own blowerfan dosent have a longer lifspan than 5-7 years,,,weeeel this socalled high qualety fan of you guys company&brand is also of baaad qualety,,I personalwouldnt Even made myself capably of saying somthing like that,its right out a Lie served straght to the face to your owncostumers Incomerrison I have a cooling/freeze/ aggregat for myfood storage room.. ,and both the cooling aggregat and the electric fan motor this motor has worked day&night for 24/7 365 daysfor the last 30 +years🤩that iswhat I would call a very high qualtyproduct,we got it build in when wewas building our new house back in 1989 the electric motor has a propeller fan and inside the motor and around theshaft ,,, its agliding houseing and I do Belive that this long lifespan is becouse they have very high qualty componentsand 30+ yearof problem free working lifespanis isproff of that.. and the company made evry rotating part in perfect balace into get evry rotating part in perfect thebalance …this smallelectric motor has enough cooling ribbens so it dosent overheat,,the littel electric motor on our cooling aggregat is only 65watts/230 ac,but the housing is also over engeenered incomerrison to the electric motor that is used in the blowerfan that is promotd to be by far higher qualty than normal in this video… 😊

What is the maintenance for these fan blower kits?

Would it work with sterling g direct vent? Manual calls for blower part number 95-57010. Is this same or would work ?

Where can I find the thermostat sensor?

Your company provides a great fireplace blower and an great example of good old American quality customer service. I ordered your GFK160-KT blower. It absolutely improved the heat distribution for our fireplace... which my wife noticed immediately. Your website had everything I needed (e.g. videos, manuals, and testimonials) before I placed my online order via your website. I had a quick question regarding my fireplace electrical setup. So, I called your customer service phone number. Your customer service phone was quickly answered and an articulate expert quickly understood and answered my specific question. After purchasing your fireplace blower, I was informed with a simple and informative email with an order tracking number and how to contact you if I had an issue with the delivery or installation. It was simple to order and to install. This was a very informative video about fireplace blower kits. Thank you.

Can I send you guys to fix my blower fan if I’m not able to fix it myself? It hums, but it doesn’t blow air.

My blower fan comes on.. the temp sensor was replaced 2 years ago.. and the fan was working slow sometimes.. if i tap it it would speed up.. but now i can hear the fan kick on and just hum so it seems the fan is just bad.. the speed controller switch at the front that can manually turn it on and off etc seemed to work as it should because i can still turn the noise/ fan up and down and off.. sound like the fan is bad to you?

En français merci

What the name of the tool you used at the 11 min mark? The one that bolts the blowers to the casing. 11:03

Hi Terry.❤ I like the way you do that I’m boxing

I don't get the benefit of the thermal sensor. I have operated my Lopi too many times and for quite a few hours and apparently the sensor is not getting hot enough to start the blower. Hard to believe.

How do you remove the blower assembly from the stove? I see the clips on the backside in the manual but this unit is not moving. Any suggestions on removing it?

1:45 The bottom placement does work for me . The temperature never reaches more than 90 or 100 and especially when the fan is running and taking in cold air from the front the temp drops to 90. My Fireplace fire box seem to be insulated from the bottom. May be it is because there is a millivolt vale and gas line etc. So what is the right place to stick the sensor? On the side of the firebox? May be half way up ?

I see the gfk21 and gfk21b are sold as the same part. Per our Heatilator ND3630 manual we need a gfk21b. Will this same video apply for installation?

I just received the blowers for my Lopi Freedom. I might caution others that the silica gel packs thrown into the box with each blower can work their way into the little squirrel cage fan. I noticed a funny noise from one as I handled it. I spotted the white packet with a flashlight and extracted it with a long nosed hemostat. I hate to think what might have happened if I hadn't detected it. I can well imagine it might have made some nasty noises, and even damaged the blower motor.

Thank you. Perfect video for my need.. I have the exact bower unit, that needs new blowers. I order the kit in your link and looking forward in getting mine back running the way it should. Thank you.

My blower motor keeps binding up on mine and i have no idea what it is. It spins for 5 seconds and slows down till it gives up and does a safety shutdown

.. i have this unit, and it works great! I have a large great room.. Do you have suggestions of a blower with more CFMs? Thanks! ...

What happens on 99.9 percent of these fans is the metal magneto that is attached to the bar that is hooked up to the fan breaks lose from the bar so the magneto just makes a big squealing sound . If you take the 2 screws at the end of the motor off and you pull the motor off you will see the cylinder magneto slides off the bar . The way the magneto is attached to the bar is a very poor design . The best way to fix it is the make cut marks into the bar and jb weld the magneto into place . This will give you years and year of use without this problem again .

What do you connect the green neutral wire to?

I have a Heat and Glo Bay Supreme, 3 sided glass fireplace which I installed in 1989. The blower recently went belly up. I contacted Heat and Glo. They said the blower used in the Bay Supreme unit is a BFK-160 and is no longer available. It looks all but identical to the GFK-160 in this video. I asked Heat and Glo customer service if I can replace the BFK-160 with a GFK-160 and they said it is not compatible. I have no idea why. The only difference I see is that the wind exhaust on my current unit blows horizontally to the fireplace base. Does anyone have any input for me? I already have a rheostat, so all I need is the blower to repair. Thanks! Dick Kauffman

Still have this blower. 3y old. Still running strong. Love the product.

This helped me troubleshoot my hearthstone champlain 8300 (blower assembly #93-57000). I bought this thing second hand and it's over 20 years old at this point. First I confirmed that the blower worked using your trick to connect the power from the outlet directly to the blower. I was fortunate enough to have gotten an old blower assembly when I purchased this thing which only had a defective power cord. At this point I knew it was either the rheostat switch or the snap switch, so I hooked each up to the old blower assembly (using the power from the new assembly kit). I found that the snap switch was defective and took that off of the old one. Everything works now! Thank you for this great video.

Nice video. I've 500DVBNVC fireplace which blower should I buy?

The temp sensor is supposed to be in contact with the stove. Might have to bend the plate that the sensor is fastened to.

How do you do this if the blower is still installed in the fireplace?

Great instructions. My fan stays on all of the time. Must be a broken temp sensor?

boo hiss to cheap chinese

Can this be used Infront of a wood fireplace heat area? Not directly infront of the fire are but slighlty higher up.How hot can the unit get?

Had a pacific energy summit wood heater installed. Installed the recommended blower. Quit working on auto only worked on manual. Took it back installed a new blower and it won’t even start on auto. Checked double checked the installation, all good. What could be wrong?

The way you hype your products vs others; you’d think they’d come with a warranty that was longer than one year.

I have a nepolean GD2 for the life I can not find the temperature sensor. Need some help please.

It’s not the size of the shaft, it’s how you use it….

Should have done a video for the blower with the magnet not Velcro. Mine came with an extra pad and not knowing where it would go.

I got a new stove/blower last year and it takes many hours for the blower to come on and sometimes it doesn't come on at all. And usually never stayed on for long. I'm just going to bypass all that crap and use it manually.

Great blower! Easy to install.

Do you have Video that shows how to install it on a Vermont defiant wood stove? Any help would be appreciated thanks

Can the blower speed controller be installed right under the fireplace along with the blower itself?

Will this fit Lopi evergreen insert ?

Awesome! It's nice to know there is still quality things being made, prepared and sold by some professionals who know what you are doing!

Thanks guys great video.. got my fireplace working.. had put the new switch in wrong, shorted it the speed control sensor.. they surely are not made to run 8hrs or more/day!! Best to run it 4/5 hours then turn off let it cool down 30 minutes to hour before turning back on!! But thanks for the help!!

But you didnt bypass the restat switch?

my fireplace has IPI ignition and a GFK4B fan kit blower that is supposed to be controlled by a fan control (it does turn on and off auto) but it only works at MAX setting - any less and the blower motor shuts off. It has always worked this way - might the control module be defective? basically no control over blower speed - max or nothing

I find it interesting that the motor is controlled using the neutral wire. Is there a reason why the hot wire is not the one that is used to control the fan?

Thanks very much! We have two fireplaces and this video helped out substantially. 😀

Is it easy to to clean mine?Its starting to get loud

The unit I purchased did not come with Velcro, only padding. Also, the back of the insert is not sheet metal, it is insulation. I am installing now so plan to put my Velcro on the until and peal the back off to helpfully set the unit at the back insulation and bottom at the same time. This Velcro is pretty good so hoping to get it right in one swoop lol
