They also have a pair of LEDs in parallel with each other but in series with the op amp power rail to indicate output. Crazy all over the place.

To me it looks like the output is going to try to stay just over 3V but will lag ‘ref out’ up or down if there is any voltage on it. I can’t recall if op amps can sink current or not. The wife was annoyed that the contractor blew up the new fan hood for the kitchen remodel with a dead short on the output. A Replacement board was 8 weeks out. “Can’t you get out your special catalog and fix it?”. I suppose - hum.. this circuit board is built to drive more than one fan. Let’s take this SCR out and move it over here, solder a new fuse in here… yep - don’t even need to order parts.

Manufacturer says no user replicable parts inside. Oh yeah? It has this as a reference voltage circuit (below) for a comparator to compare against a thermistor and pot combo. LM324 Odd taking a reference voltage from an input. Have never seen this circuit before. I think I have drawn it correctly. The op amp will drive the output to minimize the differences between pins 5&6 so pin 6 should reflect the voltage of the divider with lower impedance. Anyone see why this wouldn’t work? I was sure I had traced it incorrectly, but I think this really is the circuit. It seems the values of R10 and R11 are not critical.
