CGT Overheat

[Ken Keith]

I believe the impellers can slip on the shaft, although I've never to 
my knowledge experienced it.

Maybe it's not really that hot, and there's something wrong with the 
temp gauge system.  Is the fan coming on as it should?  Was the 
thermostat installed with the correct orientation (why is the 
orientation important, anyone know)?

Good luck,

Ken
