## Description

Product description INFINITELY ADJUSTABLE Dial in the exact blower speed and heat output you want — from whisper-quiet to full circulation. Smooth, precise control across the full range with no dead zones. TRUE OFF POSITION Turn the knob fully counterclockwise for a definitive click-off that cuts power to the blower completely. No fan creep. No wasted energy. STRAIGHTFORWARD INSTALLATION Simple inline wiring. Instructions included. RoHS compliant, 115V / 3.0A rated. Safe for home use. Over 20 Years of Hearth Expertise Midwest Hearth was founded by two hearth industry veterans who saw a problem — quality specialty parts were hard to find and poorly represented online. So they built something better. Today we bring that same hands-on expertise to every product we carry, with a commitment to honesty and the kind of straightforward service you'd expect from a company rooted in Midwestern values.

Review: Works great for 2-3 years. - This controls my fireplace blower that runs near constantly 24/7 for 4-5 months out of the year. They work well for 2-3 years, and then lose the ability to adjust the speed. Still, for the price, and the ease at which they can be replaced, it's not a bad deal.
Review: It is handy to have and easy to install! - It does work, especially after the pellet stove shuts down and the room blower fan runs until the stove cools enough to shut down. During this shutdown period the room blower fan is blowing cool air, now you can turn it down or off if you want. Usually this isn't a problem unless it's really cold, the longer the fan runs the more it cools the room before shutting off. Personally, I wouldn't turn it completely off, just lower the fan speed. Just remember, when starting the pellet stove up again, to turn the fan speed back up!

## Features

- BUILT FOR FIREPLACE AND STOVE BLOWERS – Designed to fit the pre-drilled OEM rheostat holes found on most gas fireplace inserts, wood stoves, and pellet stoves. Replaces a failed speed control or adds variable speed control to any compatible 115V AC blower.
- COMPLETE REPLACEMENT KIT – Includes everything needed for a standard panel-mount installation: rheostat speed control, knob, and mounting nut. Fits most standard OEM fireplace blower control panels right out of the box.
- TRUE OFF POSITION WITH DEFINITIVE CLICK – Unlike basic rheostats that only reduce fan speed, this control features a definitive click-off position that completely cuts power to the blower. Eliminate fan noise and unnecessary power draw when your fireplace isn't in use.
- INFINITELY ADJUSTABLE SPEED CONTROL – Dial in the exact blower speed and noise level you want. Reduce fan speed for quiet background warmth or open it up for maximum heat circulation. Smooth, precise adjustment across the full speed range with no dead zones.
- TRUSTED BY HEARTH PROFESSIONALS AND DIY HOMEOWNERS ALIKE – Midwest Hearth has supplied quality fireplace parts to customers across the country for over two decades. Rated 115V / 3.0A with 6" lead wires. RoHS compliant. Rheostat body measures 1-5/8" square — consult your fireplace manual to verify fit before installing.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: will this work on a Vermont casting blower?**
A: I am not aware what Vermont Casting is.  This switch has a black /white lead.  It controls the speed of the fan, if the fan you are trying to repair has positive and negative lead then it should work.

**Q: Can I use it for a ceiling fan? But I need a plate to mount it in a wall switch box?**
A: Yes you can use it for a fan control Lowe’s has what you need to Mount in a wall switch plate !!

**Q: Is this switch dedigned for wood stove fireplace brushless motor fans?**
A: I would say no. It's like a dimmer switch for lights. It bleeds off power to slow the motor speed

**Q: The switch im replaceing is model kbnh-13bv will this switch work??**
A: I couldn’t tell you if it will work for you in your application or not. All I can tell you that I replaced my old one with this one and it would turn on and off, no variable speed and it only lasted about 3 weeks and quit working altogether. Maybe it was a defective part.
