It only comes on when the heater has heated up. Turn the temp up and leave it alone, the bowercwill come on in a few minutes and turn off once the room heats up.

We have only used ours a couple times. I found that if you put it on auto and leave it, the blower will turn on once it heats up. It will turn on and off, though I'm not entirely sure what makes it do so...I guess it has to do with how hot the unit is getting.

I thought I had the same problem but it started going when the heater comes up to temp. It kind of does it's own thing going on then off a minute after the flame goes out. Then the flame comes on and a few minutes later the blower comes on.My basement is big (30 x 40) with 10 foot ceilings insulated and I leave the heat on #3 about an hour before going down to rehearse (musician) and the temp has come up nicely and the blower goes on and off as needed. It also could be a break in period because you will get a slight smell until you put some hours on the unit. One other hint the blower just can't be turned on but the heater must heat up then it will work. I like the unit and works as expected.

From previous experience I would send it back.... We had so many issues we could see this was not something worth money spent!

Humm I didn't have that issue. When it's on auto did you make sure the light is on, doesn't work if the light isn't on. Once hair is brushed up to the sensor it sucks it up. When on manual the push button should work. If not then maybe it needs to go back.

well if it sounds ok as a blower, but strange and rattly as a vac, I would check the filter for tears, if the motor sounds strange disconnected, I would try to blow air through it to knock off any dust or leaves that are stuck on the moving parts... if that doesn't work contact the manufacturer.

Its probably the blower motor resistor. Amazon has them, and you can see how to install on youtube. Just had to replace mine. Common problem with GM trucks.

Try starting without the foam air cleaner filter. Replace the fuel (add stabilizer) and the little fuel filter in the tank. If that doesn't work change the plug. If all else fails save the auger bit and buy a new one...

We had ours 72 days with normal use and it blew. They did replace it and its only been a little over a month this time.

How crazy, the same thing happened to me. I could not fix this myself. I had a guy at an oil shop take a look and he fixed it for me. Sorry that's not much help but I tried on my own for hours and couldn't get the right timing. Drove for a week like that!

Barbara,Most local power equipment shops (think commerical and residential mowers, string trimmers, large snow throwers) have service departments that will repair any issues should you have a problem with this blower. I owned two of the models before the BBX7600N and they served me well besides a faulty insulator gasket issue that Makita seems to have cleared up by reinforcing them on the newer models. Keep your gas clean, change your oil as suggested and you shouldn't have any issues with this blower.

Hopefully by now you have resolved this problem. I would have said take it out and shake it, use some air cleaner and give it a good blow. Mine is perfect...............

Had same issue. Replaced control module. If you can locate fuse box and isolate fuse for control module just take out fuse and blower will quit. I replaced module after researching problem online.

I'm assuming that the blower is not coming on both before and after you replaced the control board. Ensure the jumpers are in the correct configuration and there is power to the board. Test the motor by directly connecting it to 120VAC. If the motor works, the board is installed correctly and it has power then the next thing to check would be the plenum temperature sensor. That is the "enable" for the motor. Does the gas burner come on for a while and then shut off?

If it starts back after it cools off the piston is probably scared. I am on my second one the first one I may have had to hours on it before it crapped out and the second one has maybe five hours on it. after about 2 hours I took it in for not running after about 15 minutes of operation. The looked at the cylinder and said I ran it without oil. I knew that wasn't true cause I all ways run my with a touch more oil than called for. I would not recommend this blower to any one. They took me to the cleaners ln min e. It runs maybe 10 minutes then starts getting slower and slower on rpms.

The switch on this blower could be bought where electrical swtiches are sold, make sure you check the watts/voltage on blower to purchase correct switch. Good Luck.

Do you have one of the cars that require the key/engine on to power the cigarette lighter? Check and reset your auto fuse/breaker. If not tripped then bad contact/wire break somewhere. After that I have no suggestions.

I left my Neuron plugged in to recharge the battery overnight to see if it will power my mower again just to make sure and it started again after I press the start button. So I don't know why it did not start yesterday. I thought it had died. I am so confuse right now. My be the connection between the battery and the mower was loose. I will try to do some mowing just to make sure that it will run OK. Sorry for all the trouble.

This seems to be a common problem with this product. I would contact the seller and get it fixed if the cost is reasonable. They sent me a new one when mine broke but now the second fan has gone out as well. As I do a lot with my dryer I can't afford for it to be down so I bought an Excaliber.

You have to be more specific... but anyway, here are my two cents: I suspect that the blower or the wiring to the motor is bad, because the motor should operate when the manual mode is selected (FAN). Check for voltage a the fan when the FAN is selected, if there is voltage at the terminal, the blower is bad, if not, check for an open to the wires. Also you can jump terminal R & G at the terminal strip, that should turn the fan on. Good luck
