Thermostat will not Start Unit | Quadra-Fire 1100-I specs

8.THERMOSTAT WILL NOT START UNIT

A.Check the power to the insert.

1.Unplug for 10 seconds and then plug back in. The exhaust blower should come on. If it does, go to C.

B.Check the power supply (plug should be 120 volts, fuse should be 7 amp, 120 volt [AGC-7]).

C.The thermostat or the thermostat wiring maybe faulty.

1.Disconnect the thermostat wires from the insert. Make a jumper wire in order to create a manual bypass to determine if the insert or the thermostat is faulty.

NOTE: Unplug the insert while hooking up the jumper wire. Plug the insert back in and the unit should come on and light. If the unit lights, check the thermostat and the wires connecting them.

D.Check reset button to make sure current is passing through it.

E.Snap disc #2 would bypass the thermostat if an overheating situation occurs. The snap disc should reset itself once it cools down.

F.Check the control box (consult dealer).

9.UNIT FAILS TO SHUT OFF

A.Check the thermostat and the thermostat wires.

1.Remove one of the thermostat wires from the insert; the insert should go into a normal shutdown cycle.

B.Check the control box (consult dealer).

C.Check the junction box (consult dealer).

10.SMOKE FROM THE CONVECTION AIR OUTLET

A.Check the exhaust blower housing and all venting connections.

B.Most problems with smoke in the house are the result of a poor venting system.

11.CONVECTION BLOWERS KEEP RUNNING OR FAIL TO START

A.Snap disc #1 may need to be replaced.

B.Check the wire connections on snap disc #1 and the convection blowers to be sure a good connection is being made.

C.Check the convection blowers.

12.INSERT CYCLES ON AND OFF, THERMOSTAT ALWAYS ON

A.Check that snap disc #1 is coming on and turning the convection blowers on. If not, snap disc #2 could be bypassing the thermostat until the snap disc cools and resets itself.

13.LARGE FIRE, ASH BUILDUP AND DIRTY GLASS

A.Clean the firepot. Check the firepot gasket for a good seal between the firepot and firebox surface.

B.Visually check the cleanliness of the firebox, the heat exchanger and venting system.

C.Reduce the feed rate, if necessary, to maintain a fire height of about 4" to 6" (100mm to 153mm) above the top of the firepot.

D.If the above do not help, an air adjustment may be needed. Open more to increase air to help even the air to fuel ratio.

14.UNIT BURNING, NO CALL LIGHT

A.Replace light bulb (#85 lamp).

15.STOVE IGNITES THEN GOES OUT, LIGHTS STILL ON = NUISANCE SHUTDOWN

A.Inspect the thermocouple and the cover.

1.Make sure that the thermocouple end and the cover make contact.

2.The thermocouple and the cover should extend approximately 1” (25mm) into the firepot.

3.Push the reset button. When the thermocouple reaches 200°F (93°C) the GREEN LIGHT will come on, and at 1000° F (538°C) the RED LIGHT will come on.

B.Check the fire height. It should be 4” to 6" (100mm to 153mm) out of the firepot.

1.Too high of a fire will lower the vacuum in the firebox and the vacuum switch may turn off the feed system, resulting in total shutdown or feed system shutdown until vacuum is regained.

NOTE: This may also happen in complicated venting systems, or at high altitudes. Use the feed adjustment plate to slow fuel input and reduce flame height. If this does not help, check the air adjustment plate.

2.Too low of a fire will let the firepot temperature drop below 1000°F (538°C) and will turn the insert off. Increase fuel, check for sawdust and bridging of pellets.

C.Check the heat exchanger and the venting system for buildup or restriction (cleanout ash buildup).

D.Check the vacuum switch for proper operation.

1.Make sure that the vacuum hose is not clogged.

2.With normal operation, the vacuum switch should shut the feed system off when the door is opened, and restart the feed system when the door is closed again.
