Trouble Shooting Guide
SMOKE SMELL COMING BACK INTO THE HOME
Possible Causes:
Possible Remedies: (Unplug stove
fi
rst when possible)
1. There is a leak in the vent pipe system.
Inspect all vent pipe connections. Make sure they are
sealed with RTV silicone that has a temperature rating on
500 degree F or higher. Also, seal joints with UL-181-AP
foil tape. Also, make sure the square to round adapter
piece on the combustion blower has been properly sealed
with the same RTV.
2. The gasket on the combustion blower has gone bad. Inspect both gaskets on the combustion blower to make
sure they are in good shape.
Because it is a wood-burning device, your pellet heater may emit a faint wood-burning odor. If this increases beyond
normal, or if you notice an unusual soot build-up on walls or furniture, check your exhaust system carefully for leaks.
All joints should be properly sealed. Also clean your stove, following instructions in “MAINTENANCE”. If problem per-
sists, contact your dealer.
CONVECTION BLOWER SHUTS OFF AND COMES BACK ON
Possible Causes:
Possible Remedies: (Unplug stove
fi
rst when possible)
1. The convection blower is overheating and tripping the
internal temperature shutoff.
Clean any dust off of the windings and fan blades. If
cleaning the blower does not help, the blower may be bad.
2. 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, then
the control board is
fi
ne. 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: (Unplug stove
fi
rst when possible)
1. High limit switch has tripped or is defective.
Wait for the stove to cool for about 30 - 45 minutes. Locate
the High Limit thermodisc and press the reset button on the
back of it. If the heater will not restart, check the thermodisc
to see if it’s bad. To test if the thermodisc is bad, you can
bypass it as described previously for the POF thermodisc.
2. 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.
3. 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
fl
ights,
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.
4. Loose wire or connector.
Check all wires and connectors that connector to the auger
motor, high limit switch, and the Molex connector.
5. 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.
