TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE

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. 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.
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.
