Problems can be caused by to only five factors: 1) poor fuel; 2) poor operation or maintenance; 3) poor installation; 4) component failure; 5) factory defect. You can usually solve those problems related to 1 and 2. Your dealer can solve problems relating to 3, 4 and 5. Refer to figures 26 - 29 to help locate indicated parts.

STOVE SHUTS OFF AND THE # 2 LIGHT FLASHES

Possible Causes:

Possible Remedies: (Unplug stove first when possible)

 

 

 

1.

Airflow switch hose or stove attachment pipes for hose are

freely, the hose and tube are fine. If air will not flow throw the hose,

 

 

use a wire coat hanger to clear the blockage.

 

 

 

2.

The air inlet, burnpot, interior combustion air chambers,

foreign material.

 

 

 

 

3.

The firebox is not properly sealed.

Make sure the door is closed and that the gasket is in good shape.

 

 

If the ash door has a latch, make sure the ash door is properly

 

 

latched and the gasket is sealing good. If the stove has just a small

 

 

hole for the ashes to fall through under the burnpot, make sure the

 

 

slider plate is in place to seal off the firebox floor.

 

 

 

4.

Vent pipe is incorrectly installed.

Check to make sure vent pipe installation meets criteria in owner’s

 

 

manual.

 

 

 

5.

The airflow switch wire connections are bad.

Check the connectors that attach the gray wires to the air switch.

 

 

 

6.

wiring harness.

 

 

 

 

7.

Combustion blower failure.

With the stove on, check to see if the combustion blower is running.

 

 

If it is not, you will need to check for power going to the combustion

 

 

blower. It should be a full current. If there is power, the blower is

 

 

bad. If there is not, see #8.

 

 

 

8.

Control board not sending power to combustion blower.

If there is no current going to the combustion blower, check all wire

 

 

connections. If all wires are properly connected, you have a bad

 

 

control board.

 

 

 

9.

Control board not sending power to air switch.

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

 

 

switch after the stove has been on for 30 seconds.

 

 

 

10.

Air switch has failed (very rare).

To test the air switch, you will need to disconnect the air hose from

 

 

the body of the stove. With the other end still attached to the air

 

 

switch, very gently suck on the loose end of the hose (you may want

 

 

to remove the hose entirely off the stove and the air switch first and

 

 

make sure it is clear). If you hear a click, the air switch is working.

 

 

BE CAREFUL TOO MUCH VACUUM CAN DAMAGE THE AIR

 

 

SWITCH.
