The power venter connected to my Laars Mini-Combo II Hot water heater constantly runs even after the burners have turned off. The damper opens and closes properly as the burners turn on/off but I cannot figure out why the venter motor keeps running. The motor is getting very hot so I've been forced to turn off the electricity to the device once the water is heated. Any suggestions of what my problem may be?

I went searching and found a couple web pages that might help you.

Here you can download the install and operating manual for the Mini-Combo II

Here you can download a supplement manual to go along with the one above

And here is Larrs home page:

I hope you get this fixed BEFORE your motor freezes up. (Strange choice of words as overheating causes the freeze up.)
