STOVE WILL NOT FEED PELLETS, BUT FUEL FEED LIGHT COMES ON AS DESIGNED
Possible Causes:
Possible Remedies:
1. Fuse on control board blew
Remove the control board. On the back there is one fuse. If it
appears to be bad, replace it with a 5 Amp 250 Volt fuse. Plug the
stove back in and try to run the unit.
2. High limit switch has tripped or is defective
Wait for the stove to cool for about 30 - 45 minutes. It should now
function normally. If not use the owner’s manual to locate the high
limit thermodisk. To test if the thermodisk is bad, you can bypass it
as described previously for the POF thermodisk.
3. Bad auger motor
Remove the auger motor from the auger shaft and try to run the unit.
If the motor will turn, the shaft is jammed on something. If the motor
will not turn, the motor is bad.
4. Auger jam
Start by emptying the hopper. Then remove the auger motor by
removing the auger pin. Remove the auger shaft inspection plate in
the hopper so that you can see the auger shaft. Gently lift the auger
shaft straight up so that the end of the auger shaft comes up out of
the bottom auger bushing. Next, remove the two nuts that hold the
top auger biscuit in. Then rotate the bottom end of the auger shaft
up towards you until you can lift the shaft out of the stove. After you
have removed the shaft, inspect it for bent flights, burrs, or broken
welds. Remove any foreign material that might have caused the
jam. Also, check the auger tube for signs of damage such as burrs,
rough spots, or grooves cut into the metal that could have caused a
jam.
5. Loose wire or connector
Check all wires and connectors that connector to the auger motor,
high limit switch, and the Molex connector.
6. Bad control board
If the fuse is good, the wires and connectors check out good, and
the high limit switch did not trip, test for power going to the auger
motor. If there is not a full current going to the auger motor when
the fuel feed light is on, you have a bad control board.
