TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE

HIGH LIMIT SWITCH KEEPS TRIPPING

Possible Causes:

Possible Remedies:

 

 

 

1.

The convection blower is overheating and tripping the internal

 

 

temperature shutoff.

Try lubricating the convection blower. Put 1-2 drops of SAE 20 oil in

 

 

 

 

each of the two oiling ports. Also, clean any dust off of the windings

 

 

and fan blades. If oiling the blower does not help, the blower may

 

 

be bad.

 

 

 

2.

The stove is being left on the highest setting for extended

The highest heat level setting is designed for use over short periods

 

periods of time.

of time. Burning the stove on the highest setting for longer than 1 –

 

 

2 hours could lead to potential overheating situations.

 

 

 

3.

Fuel other than wood pellets is being burned in the stove.

Breckwell pellet stoves are designed and tested to use wood pellets.

 

 

While it is possible to burn a corn mixture (corn mixed in with wood

 

 

pellets) in the stove, it is not recommended to burn above the

 

 

number 3 heat level. Check for signs of fuel other than wood

 

 

pellets. If there are signs of corn being used, find out what mixed

 

 

was being used and what setting. No other types of fuel have been

 

 

approved for Breckwell pellet stoves. If there are signs of other

 

 

types of fuel being used, advise the consumer to stop using them

 

 

immediately.

 

 

 

4.

Power surge or brown out situation.

A power surge, spike, or voltage drop could cause the high limit

 

 

switch to trip. Check to see if a surge protector is being used on the

 

 

stove. If not, recommend one to the consumer.

 

 

 

5.

High limit switch is malfunctioning.

If the other items check out ok, replace the high limit switch.

SMOKE SMELL OR SOOT BUILD-UP

Because it is a wood-burning device, your Breckwell may emit a faint wood-burning odor. If this increases beyond normal, or if you notice any soot build-up on walls or furniture, check your exhaust system carefully for leaks. All joints should be properly sealed. Also clean your stove, following instructions in “MAINTENANCE”. If problem persists, contact your dealer.
