Trouble Shooting

PROBLEM

CAUSE:

   Not enough combustion air;  Fuel has to much moisture.

Viewing window becoming black shortly
after start-up.

Adjust the air damper to a more open position.

Use a fuel with less moisture content

PROBLEM

CAUSE:

   Not enough combustion air;  Fuel has to much moisture.

“Black Popcorn” is present in the burn
chamber.

Adjust the air damper to a more open position.

Use a fuel with less moisture content

Stove might be cycling excessively due to temperature cut backs.

Reduce heat setting

PROBLEM

CAUSE:

   Chemical reaction between the starch in corn and the heat.

“Clinkers” form in burnpot.

Add calcium carbonate (aka chicken scratch or oyster shell).

Adjust air mixture

• Use corn with less moisture or starch.

PROBLEM

CAUSE:

   Unit is reaching the “Almost Over-temp” preset.

Unit cycles up and down when on the
“HIGH” heat setting.

Adjust the heat range to lower setting.

Fuel burns hot causing the furnace to cycle between high setting and

lower settings.

Disconnect the power cord before performing any maintenance!  NOTE: Turning the ON/OFF Switch to
”OFF” does not disconnect all power to the electrical components of the furnace.

Never try to repair or replace any part of the furnace unless instructions for doing so are given in this
manual.  All other work should be done by a trained technician.

Hopper is empty, refill the hopper.

Loss of draft pressure.  Make sure that the viewing door is closed and

sealed properly.  Check that all outside connections are clear of any
obstructions.  Check the exhaust system; clean as needed.

Check that the pressure switch connection to the firebox is free of ash or

clear of obstructions.

Auger system is jammed or there is a “bridging” of the fuel in the hopper,

preventing fuel from flowing into the auger feed system.
