TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE
Smoke Smell Coming Back Into The Home
Possible Causes: | Possible Remedies: | |
|
|
|
1. | There is a leak in the vent pipe system. | Inspect all vent pipe connections. Make sure they are sealed with RTV |
|
| silicone that has a temperature rating on 500 degree F or higher. Also, |
|
| seal joints with |
|
| adapter piece on the combustion blower has been properly sealed with the |
|
| same RTV. |
|
|
|
2. | The gasket on the combustion blower has gone bad. | Inspect both gaskets on the combustion blower to make sure they are in |
|
| good shape. |

Convection Blower Shuts Off and Comes Back On
Possible Causes: | Possible Remedies: | |
|
|
|
1. | The convection blower is overheating and tripping its internal | Vacuum any dust off of the windings and fan blades. If cleaning the |
| temperature shutoff. | blower does not help, the blower may be bad. |
|
|
|
2. | Circuit board malfunction. | Check the voltage going to the convection blower. If there is power to the |
|
| blower, then the control board is fine. If there is NOT power being sent to |
|
| the blower when it shuts off during operation, then you have a bad control |
|
| board. |

Stove Will Not Feed Fuel, But Auger Light Does Come On
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 125 Volt fuse. Plug the stove back in and |
|
| try to run the unit. |
|
|
|
2. | 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 |
|
| thermodisc. To test if the thermodisc is bad, you can bypass it as |
|
| described previously for the POF thermodisc. |
|
|
|
3. | Bad auger motor | Remove the fuel from the hopper and remove the auger shaft from the |
|
| auger tube. Apply line voltage to the auger motor. If the motor will not |
|
| turn, the motor is bad or the hopper safety switch has failed (see above). |
|
|
|
4. | Auger jam | Visually confirm that the auger shaft is not rotating. If it is not, start by |
|
| emptying the hopper of fuel. Then pull the auger shaft out of the auger |
|
| tube from the front of the stove. Then clear the auger tube of all fuel. |
|
| Visually inspect the auger shaft. Maker sure the auger flights are securely |
|
| attached to the auger shaft. Inspect the shaft for bent flights, burrs, or |
|
| broken welds. Also check the auger tube for the signs of damage such as |
|
| burrs, rough spots, or groves cut into the metal that could have caused a |
|
| jam. If the parts appear fine, reinstall the auger in the auger tube per the |
|
| instructions in this manual. |
|
|
|
5. | Loose wire or connector | Check all wires and connectors that connect to the auger motor, high limit |
|
| switch, hopper safety switch, and the Molex connector. |
|
|
|
6. | Bad control board | If the 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. |
