TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE

STOVE WILL NOT FEED PELLETS, BUT FUEL FEED LIGHT COMES ON AS DESIGNED

Possible Causes:

Possible Remedies:

 

 

1. F2 fuse on control board blew

Remove the control board. On the back there are two fuses. The

 

 

one closer to the edge is the F2 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

Using the owner’s manual, locate the high limit thermodisk. There is

 

 

a red button located on the back of it. Press the red button. If you

 

 

hear a click, the high limit had tripped. The stove should now

 

 

function normally. 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.
