'Lo Stephen and All,

Sounds like the high temp switch is keeping the circulating fan on 
after you turn the unit off so that it will cool down properly. When 
you turn of the CB, the overtemp switch may be kicking in because 
there is no longer any air cooling it; and, therefore, preventing the 
unit from starting until you reset it. Don't really know, just pure 
conjecture, but something you can check out.

Merry Christmas to all (or whatever holiday you celebrate).


Take care and be safe.
