That being said, if the stove continually trips the high limit switch
before getting up to unsafe heat then check the convection fan by
disconnecting power to the stove and plugging the fan in direct.
If the fan cuts out while plugged in direct then change the fan.
If the fan runs without fail when plugged in direct then it is not the
fan.
Bypass the high limit switch while the power to the stove is
disconnected and then plug in and see if the stove runs properly. If
the stove runs longer than it previously was when tripping the high
limit switch then replace the high limit switch.
Pellets stop feeding:
Check the auger shaft for a jam. Unfortunately, auger jams are
unavoidable when operating a pellet stove. However, if your stove
is experiencing a high regularity of auger shaft pellet jams then
check the quality of your pellets. Pellets are like anything else, you
get what you pay for.
You want to use high quality pellets with
little or no sawdust and with a low ash content.
Use of poor
grade pellets is the main issue with most pellet jams.
If there is no pellet jam then check the high limit switch, if it is
tripped it will stop the pellets from feeding as well.
Burn pot is clogging up:
You must clean pot regularly, how regularly depends on usage.
Failure to clean out the burn pot will cause build up and clogging.
It could also lead to a hopper fire should the pot clog up and back
up the drop tube
. IT IS VERY IMPORTANT TO CLEAN OUT
THE BURN POT REGULARLY!
Failure to clean out the burn pot and allowing it to clog up will also
negatively affect the performance of your stove. You are limiting
the amount of air that can be feed into the pot to feed the fire.
Different altitudes can affect the burn off your stove and cause the
pot to clog. Higher altitudes require a different board setting;
change the board if this is an issue.
The burn pot is warped:
This is again a result of not cleaning out the pot. If you allow build
up in your pot and do not clean out your pot from one use to the
next your burn pot will experience hotter than acceptable
temperatures and your pot may warp.
This is not covered under
warranty!
