Faulty Exhaust Blower
The exhaust blower pulls air through the air inlet, burnpot, and exhaust ducts. If these channels are blocked or
restricted, performance will decrease. Therefore, before checking the exhaust blower, make sure the stove is clean.
Make sure the stove has fully cooled (approximately 25 minutes) before conducting service. Unplug the
stove to prevent electrical shock.
The only way to check the exhaust blower is to remove it from the stove, hotwire it, and compare it to a new exhaust
blower. See the directions below.
Use a hot-wire to check blower performance (you should do this outside
to prevent stray flyash from entering the home).
Be careful to not touch the
impeller.
Gauge the airflow
leaving the blower.
Fuse Blown
Make sure the stove has fully cooled (approximately 25 minutes) before conducting service. Unplug the
stove to prevent electrical shock.
There are two fuses on the
pellet stove. An in-line
fuse is found at the rear,
near the power cord.
A circuit board fuse is
found on the back of the
circuit board. See the
section ÒCircuit Board
FaultyÓ for details.
A
Small Standard
Screwdriver
The fuse is located at the back of the stove near the location
where the power cord connects. There are two different
types of fuse holders:
This type unscrews with your fingers. Press in slightly while
turning the fuse holder counter-clockwise to release.
Use a small standard screwdriver for this type. Press in slightly

Blown fuses will have a break in the element. In
rare cases the fuse may have a loose cap -
replace the fuse if uncertain.
