TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE
Smoke Smell Coming Back Into The Home
| Possible Causes: | Possible Remedies: | |
| 
 | 
 | 
 | 
| 1. | There is a leak in the vent pipe system. | Inspect all vent pipe connections. Make sure they are sealed with RTV | 
| 
 | 
 | silicone that has a temperature rating on 500 degree F or higher. Also, | 
| 
 | 
 | seal joints with  | 
| 
 | 
 | adapter piece on the combustion blower has been properly sealed with the | 
| 
 | 
 | same RTV. | 
| 
 | 
 | 
 | 
| 2. | The gasket on the combustion blower has gone bad. | Inspect both gaskets on the combustion blower to make sure they are in | 
| 
 | 
 | good shape. |

Convection Blower Shuts Off and Comes Back On
| Possible Causes: | Possible Remedies: | |
| 
 | 
 | 
 | 
| 1. | The convection blower is overheating and tripping its internal | Vacuum any dust off of the windings and fan blades. If cleaning the | 
| 
 | temperature shutoff. | blower does not help, the blower may be bad. | 
| 
 | 
 | 
 | 
| 2. | Circuit board malfunction. | Check the voltage going to the convection blower. If there is power to the | 
| 
 | 
 | blower, then the control board is fine. If there is NOT power being sent to | 
| 
 | 
 | the blower when it shuts off during operation, then you have a bad control | 
| 
 | 
 | board. |

Stove Will Not Feed Fuel, But Auger Light Does Come On
| Possible Causes: | Possible Remedies: | |
| 
 | 
 | 
 | 
| 1. | Fuse on control board blew | Remove the control board. On the back there is one fuse. If it appears to | 
| 
 | 
 | be bad, replace it with a 5 Amp 125 Volt fuse. Plug the stove back in and | 
| 
 | 
 | try to run the unit. | 
| 
 | 
 | 
 | 
| 2. | 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 | 
| 
 | 
 | thermodisc. To test if the thermodisc is bad, you can bypass it as | 
| 
 | 
 | described previously for the POF thermodisc. | 
| 
 | 
 | 
 | 
| 3. | Bad auger motor | Remove the fuel from the hopper and remove the auger shaft from the | 
| 
 | 
 | auger tube. Apply line voltage to the auger motor. If the motor will not | 
| 
 | 
 | turn, the motor is bad or the hopper safety switch has failed (see above). | 
| 
 | 
 | 
 | 
| 4. | Auger jam | Visually confirm that the auger shaft is not rotating. If it is not, start by | 
| 
 | 
 | emptying the hopper of fuel. Then pull the auger shaft out of the auger | 
| 
 | 
 | tube from the front of the stove. Then clear the auger tube of all fuel. | 
| 
 | 
 | Visually inspect the auger shaft. Maker sure the auger flights are securely | 
| 
 | 
 | attached to the auger shaft. Inspect the shaft for bent flights, burrs, or | 
| 
 | 
 | broken welds. Also check the auger tube for the signs of damage such as | 
| 
 | 
 | burrs, rough spots, or groves cut into the metal that could have caused a | 
| 
 | 
 | jam. If the parts appear fine, reinstall the auger in the auger tube per the | 
| 
 | 
 | instructions in this manual. | 
| 
 | 
 | 
 | 
| 5. | Loose wire or connector | Check all wires and connectors that connect to the auger motor, high limit | 
| 
 | 
 | switch, hopper safety switch, and the Molex connector. | 
| 
 | 
 | 
 | 
| 6. | Bad control board | If the fuse is good, the wires and connectors check out good, and the high | 
| 
 | 
 | limit switch did not trip, test for power going to the auger motor. If there | 
| 
 | 
 | is not a full current going to the auger motor when the fuel feed light is | 
| 
 | 
 | on, you have a bad control board. |
