STOVE SHUTS OFF AND THE # 3 LIGHT FLASHES

Possible Causes:

Possible Remedies: (Unplug stove first when possible)

 

 

 

1.

The hopper is out of pellets.

Refill the hopper.

 

 

 

2.

The air damper is too far open for a low feed setting.

If burning on the low setting, you may need to close the damper all

 

 

the way (push the knob in so it touches the side of the stove).

 

 

 

3.

The burnpot is not pushed completely to the rear of the firebox.

Make sure that the air intake collar on the burnpot is touching the

 

 

rear wall of the firebox.

 

 

 

4.

The burnpot holes are blocked.

Remove the burnpot and thoroughly clean it.

 

 

 

5.

The air inlet, the interior chambers, or exhaust system has a

partial blockage.

owner’s manual.

 

 

 

6.

The auger shaft is jammed.

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 flights, 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.

 

 

 

7.

The auger motor has failed.

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.

 

 

 

8.

The Proof of Fire (POF) thermodisk has malfunctioned.

Temporarily bypass the POF thermodisk by disconnecting the two

 

 

brown wires and connecting them with a short piece of wire. Then

 

 

plug the stove back in. If the stove comes on and works, you need

 

 

to replace the POF thermodisk. This is for testing only. DO NOT

 

 

LEAVE THE THERMODISC BYPASSED. Your blowers will never

 

 

shut off and if the fire went out the auger will continue to feed pellets

 

 

until the hopper is empty if you leave the POF thermodisk bypassed.

 

 

 

9.

The high limit thermodisk has tripped or is defective.

Wait for the stove to cool for about 30 - 45 minutes. It should now

 

 

function normally. If not use the owner’s manual to locate the high

 

 

limit thermodisk. To test if the thermodisk is bad, you can bypass it

 

 

as described previously for the POF thermodisk.

 

 

 

10.

The fuse on the control board has blown.

Remove the control board. On the back there is one fuse. If it

 

 

appears to be bad, replace it with a 5 Amp 250 Volt fuse. Plug the

 

 

stove back in and try to run the unit.

 

 

11. The control board is not sending power to the POF thermodisk

There should be a 5-volt (approximately) current going to the POF

 

or other auger system components.

thermodisk after the stove has been on for 10 minutes.
