Best GFK-160A Fan Kit With Rheostat Control and Temperature Disk Deals

Customer Ratings:

I attempted to put the fan into the fireplace and it was over 1/2" too big to go into the opening! I packaged it up to return and was shopping for a smaller unit. As I was measuring the opening to ensure the next one I ordered would fit, I realized that I may gain some clearance if I removed the screen and glass from the fireplace. I removed the glass and screen and then measured the opening. I gained about 1/2" clearance so I unpackaged the fan and had to figure out a way to get it in. It finally squeezed in... Why am I saying all this??? Because I'd hate to see people return the fan after the initial attempt. It is a great unit and really pumps the air out and is very quiet. The instructions were easy to follow and it was very easy to install, once I got the fan squeezed in.

The unit arrived quickly, in a well packed box, with all the contents and complete instructions included.

It did not take long to install. Just remove the bottom grill on the fireplace and slide the fan in. My fireplace (DV6000) already had a place for the temp sensor and the variable speed control, so it was really easy to install. I turned the fireplace on, and in about 10 minutes the fan unit started to run (it has to reach 110 degrees). I had it set on high, and it seemed to move allot of air which is very good. It sounded a loud, so I turned down the speed, and noticed that the fan motor seemed louder at lower speeds. The motor has an annoying loud hum. I am going to contact the supplier, to see what the problem is. Based on a review from another reviewer, the unit is very quiet. Either that reviewer is deaf, or there is something wrong with the fan that I got.

UPDATED: I contacted the seller, and told them of the problem. They were both friendly and helpful. They offered to exchange the unit, and I decided to give it a try. They sent me a prepaid return label, I returned the unit, and received an exchange a few days later. This exchanged unit is very good...no loud hum. I recommend this product and this vendor to anyone.

I installed this in the original EOM location on my Quadrafire Wood Stove. The fan is unbelievably quiet, really produces a good air flow. Had no issues with the install, I just snipped the power leads from the old motor and installed snap connections, hooked them up to the new blower unit. Put everything back in the blower cabinet, and put it back on the stove. Ran first time with plug in and I was able to keep the OEM reostat and wiring. Recommend this unit over the EOM unit. MUCH much quieter and 1/2 the price!
