Why Choose the 4RWM Wall Mounted Rheostat?

Factory blower speeds can be noisy or inefficient for certain heating conditions. The 4RWM rheostat gives you full manual control over airflow, allowing quieter operation during mild weather and increased circulation when maximum heat is needed. Its solid-state design ensures smooth performance, long service life, and easy installation without permanent wiring changes.

Installation Instructions:

Disconnect power to the stove and blower before installation.

Mount the rheostat to a wall or nearby surface using appropriate hardware, ensuring it is accessible and away from heat sources.

Plug the rheostat’s power cord into a standard 120V wall outlet.

Plug the stove blower motor’s power cord into the outlet on the rheostat.

Turn the rheostat dial to the OFF position before restoring power.

Restore power and slowly rotate the dial clockwise to increase blower speed. Adjust until the desired airflow and noise level are achieved.

Use the OFF position to completely shut down the blower when needed.

Installation tip: Always verify the blower motor type before use. Using this rheostat with incompatible motors can cause damage or erratic operation.
