Help on Electronic Problem


I have a fireplace in the room where I have my stereo and when the fireplace powers up the blower to dissipate heat from the fireplace, I hear static (sometimes loud static) coming through my speakers. I have a PS audio power purifier that I plug my system into. Yet I still hear the static (whether music is playing or not). What is this and what do I do?

Gas log fireplace?
Full time pilot light? Or an electronic ignitor that lights the pilot?

Are you sure the static is not being caused by an electronic ignitor?

Can you light the fireplace and leave off the fan? If so try that first. No static, then turn on the fan.....

If you are positive the static is being caused by the blower fan call a service tech and have him check out the blower fan circuit. Static can be caused by arcing due to a lose connection or poor contact of a switch or relay contact. Static is RFI and can be transmitted trough the air or go back out through the wiring of the house

It is radiated rf from the blower motor. This rf is not coming in on the line but is radiated directly to your system. Sometimes moving cables around or moving your preamp around could help but this is a real difficult problem to eliminate other than not running the blower when listening
I would guess the fan motor is a Shaded Pole type motor. As a rule this type of motor would not cause the problem the OP is experiencing.

At this point the OP needs to contribute more information.....
