STOVE WILL NOT FEED PELLETS, BUT FUEL FEED LIGHT COMES ON AS DESIGNED
Possible Causes: | Possible Remedies: | |
|
|
|
1. | Fuse on control board blew | Remove the control board. If the fuse appears to be bad, replace it |
|
| with a 5 Amp 250 Volt fuse. Plug the stove back in and try to run the |
|
| unit. |
|
|
|
2. | High limit switch 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. |
|
|
|
3. | Bad auger motor | 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. |
|
|
|
4. | Auger jam | 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. |
|
|
|
5. | Loose wire or connector | Check all wires and connectors that connector to the auger motor, |
|
| high limit switch, and the Molex connector. |
|
|
|
6. | Bad control board | If the F2 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. |
