Saxon Blackwood SXBW07K Questions & Answers

Hi Sounds like its collapsed and the inner flue will need replacing. It could get quite dangerous if left

Saxon needed some working outHave had our heater for 2 winters now purchased as discontinued from B B Q Galore for $1700 At first the fan was an issue turning off for some 15 minutes when you opened the door. I contacted BBQ G they showed me how to change the jump pins and all is good now open door fan stops close door fan starts no time delay. The most important issue was smoke escaping in the house due to the base pan being so shallow not allowing proper draw up the flue, I remedied this problem by welding a 50mm x 10mm plate vertically across the front leaving a 2mm gap at the bottom to allow air draw not only did it fix the smoke and ash escaping through the door but mad the ash area deeper. I do agree with other reviews design is relatively poor but with these minor adjustments I have it working really well no smoke or ash in the house with good heat. the air controller is mot the best but manages ok. Purchased in May 2020 at Barbeques Galore for $1,700.

Room Type: Whole House MannyG MannyG 1y my jump pin settings are 1-3-5 they are located on the lower right hand side. As for the fan they are noisy we use a small electric fan at the end of the room instead these days it pushes heat through the whole house

Hard to say why that is. I would think its a loose screw somewhere not holding tight what its meant to (the walls of firebox or something internal near the fan). Getting to the firebox I assume is a nightmare so start with the heater fan. Unplug from powerpoint, and try to remove bottom plate of wood heater; this should expose some internals and try tighten all screws and look for something hitting the fan. If it's coming from the firebox then all screws would need to be retightened. If i remember correctly, that whole metal structure is held together only by screws.

Hey folks I've just had a Saxon Mahogany installed ,my last wood heater was a Saxon still going after 33 years when I sold the property ,my new Saxon has thermo control fan and is hopeless ,any how I took the front panel off to find a toggle switch and turned it OFF now my fan is on manual setting ,the fan will stop when the door is opened ,but when closed again just push the fan button on again ,this thermo crap is coming from the lost in space government, not Saxon

would you have a photo of the switch ??

Sorry not sure about that

The electronics on these is very poor. Id had the same initial problem. There are "earth" wires under the unit where all the wires are, behind the door too. Mine were not earthed properly. I purchased some washers and sand paper and earthed them properly. This fixed the issue. As for the timer, if you can find an electrician who has knowledge about simple circuitry, they can bypass the timer, it's very simple.

Yes. can disengage the thermostat

That’s good news.

It sounds like the “auto-off” was bypassed, which is why you need to turn it to “off” mode. Many, many people do this bypass, it’s a lot better as you can turn on or off the fan at will. Whereas auto mode is very annoying and the fan doesn’t come on when you want it to.

It’s not necessarily defective, it’s just had the auto mode disabled according to your description. I would leave it as is, and enjoy being able to turn the fan on or off whenever you want.

I wish I could use my fan as I want. The auto feature is ridiculous. It wastes so much time when you first light the fire. The room would be warmed much quicker with manual control.

How did you go with this? I have the same problem if anyone can help. benwhite1981@hotmail.com thanks in advance

I’m joining the list. I too wish to know about disconnecting the sensor in order to use the fan at leisure. fernando65torres@outlook.com

If possible please send as well. Thanks cameronarmstrong75@gmail.com
