Blower is not working

 

 

1.  Check for a blown fuse or open circuit 

breaker. 

 
2.  Insufficient air flow 

a)  Motor speed is too low (multi-speed 

units only). 

b)  Leaks in ductwork. 
c)  Dampers and/or registers closed. 
d)  Obstruction in system. 
e) Clogged 

filters. 

 
3.  Too much air flow 

a)  Filters not in place (where 

applicable). 

b)  Motor speed too fast (multi-speed 

units only). 

c)  Registers or grills not installed. 
d)  Insufficient static pressure (SP). 

Check your static pressure (SP) 
calculations and correct system 
accordingly. 

 
4.  Motor overloaded – System static 

pressure too low.  Check and correct 
system. 

 
5.  Thermostat is not opening damper (or 

turning on forced draft fan) 
a)  Check wall thermostat. 
b)  Check the thermostat wires (possible 

short or broken wire). 

c)  Check wire connections. 
d)  Make sure heated area is calling for 

heat. 

e)  Check damper assembly so that all 

parts move freely. 

f)  Damper motor or forced draft fan 

improperly wired – compare wiring 
on the unit to the schematic in the 
manual. 

 
6. Excessive 

creosote 

a)  Make sure the unit’s smoke pipe is 

vented into its own proper chimney. 

b)  Check length of flue pipe and all 

connections.  Offsets in flue pipe will 
slow flue gases down causing 
buildup. 

c)  Slow fires with excessive amounts of 

fuel can cause creosote buildup in 
smoke pipe and chimney. 

 
 
 

Coal fire goes out or does not hold 
overnight

 

 
Check for the following conditions: 
 
1. Poor 

draft 

 
2.  Incorrect damper settings. 
 
3.  Improper firing methods for coal being 

used. 

 
4.  More combustion air needed. 
 
5.  Coal is not sized to the furnace. 
 
6.  Ashes, if allowed to accumulate in the 

ash pit, will not allow the passage of air 
for combustion. Keep ash pit clean. 

 
Note: Never stand in front of loading door 
when opening it. Stand to the side. 
 
Too much draft air will cause clinkering of 
coal and will waste heat up the chimney.  
Shut draft down to as low a point as you can 
and still heat your home. 
 
 
 
 

Frequently asked questions 

 
Q.  “Do I operate my stove differently in cold  

vs. warm weather conditions?” 

R.   Yes, during the warmer seasons of 

spring and fall, control the total heat 
output by limiting the amount of fuel 
(wood) rather than by closing down the 
air supply.  Make shorter, hot fires using 
more finely split wood.  The actual air 
supply setting will vary according to your 
stove instructions, but the fuel loadings 
will be consistently smaller.  Let the fire 
burn out rather than smolder at low air 
supply settings.  When your home 
requires more heat, restart the fire with 
kindling as always, but add smaller fuel 
loads.  This allows your stove to operate 
at maximum efficiency and with minimum 
emissions.  Avoid the temptation of 
building a big fire and then starving it for 
air.
