STOVE FEEDS PELLETS, BUT WILL NOT IGNITE
Possible Causes:
Possible Remedies:
Air damper open too far for
ignition.
Push the air damper in closer to the side of the stove for startup. In some situations,
it may be necessary to have the damper completely closed for ignition to take place.
After there is a flame, the damper can then be adjusted for the desired feed setting.
Blockage in igniter tube or inlet
for igniter tube.
Find the igniter housing on the backside of the firewall. The air intake hole is a small
hole located on the bottom side of the housing. Make sure it is clear. Also, look from
the front of the stove to make sure there is not any debris around the igniter element
inside of the igniter housing.
The burnpot is not pushed
completely to the rear of the
firebox.
Make sure that the air intake collar on the burnpot is touching the rear wall of the
firebox.
Bad igniter element.
Put power directly to the igniter element. Watch the tip of the igniter from the front of
the stove. After about 2 minutes, the tip should glow. If it does not, the element is bad.
The control board is not sending
power to the igniter.
Check the voltage going to the igniter during startup. It should be a full current. If the
voltage is lower than full current, check the wiring. If the wiring checks out good, the
board is bad.
CONVECTION BLOWER SHUTS OFF AND COMES BACK ON
Possible Causes:
Possible Remedies:
The convection blower is
overheating and tripping the
internal temperature shutoff.
Clean any dust off the windings and fan blades. If clearing the blower does not help,
the blower may be bad.
Circuit board malfunction.
Test the current going to the convection blower. If there is power being sent to the
blower when it is shut off, the control board is fine. If there is NOT power being sent
to the blower when it shuts off during operation, then you have a bad control board.
STOVE WILL NOT FEED PELLETS, BUT FUEL FEED LIGHT COMES ON AS DESIGNED
Possible Causes:
Possible Remedies:
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 125 Volt fuse. Plug the stove back in and try to run the unit.
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 thermodisc. To test if the thermodisc
is bad, you can bypass it as described previously for the POF thermodisc.
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.
STOVE SHUTS OFF AND THE #3 LIGHT FLASHES
Possible Causes:
Possible Remedies: (Unplug stove first when possible)
The control board is not sending
power to the POF thermodisc or
other auger system components.
There should be a 5-volt (approximately) current going to the POF thermodisc after the
stove has been on for 10 minutes.
