STOVE FEEDS PELLETS, BUT WILL NOT IGNITE AND
SHOWS WARNING CODE “L”
Possible Causes: | Possible Remedies: | |||||
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
1. Air damper open too far for ignition. | Adjust the air supply to the minimum setting for startup. In some situations, it may | |||||
|
| be necessary to have the damper completely closed for ignition to take place. Once | ||||
|
| there is a flame, the damper can be adjusted to the desired feed setting. | ||||
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
2. Blockage in igniter tube or inlet for igniter tube. | Remove the burn pot and clean it thoroughly. Make sure that all openings are clear. | |||||
|
| Find the place where the igniter tube comes out of the burn pot housing. It is a small | ||||
|
| tube located on the back of the burn pot housing. Make sure it is clear. Make sure | ||||
|
| there is no debris around the igniter element or inside the igniter tube. | ||||
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
3. Defective igniter element. | Supply power directly to the igniter element. Watch the tip of the igniter from the | |||||
|
| front of the stove. After about 2 minutes, the tip should glow. If it does not, the | ||||
|
| element is defective and must be replaced. You may need a technician to perform | ||||
|
| this test. | ||||
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
4. The thermistor heat sensor has malfunctioned. | The thermistor is a heat sensor attached to the exhaust housing. Its function is to | |||||
|
| tell the control board that the unit has ignited properly by measuring the temperature | ||||
|
| in the exhaust. The stove will not feed pellets at the desired heat setting until it | ||||
|
| has received a signal from the thermistor heat sensor. If the thermistor heat sensor | ||||
|
| is bad, the unit will go out and stop after the ignition cycle. If this situation occurs, | ||||
|
| call your dealer or technician. | ||||
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
5. The control board is not sending power to the igniter. | Check the voltage going to the igniter during ignition. It should be a full current. If | |||||
|
| the voltage is lower than full current, check the wiring. If the wiring is functional and | ||||
|
| properly connected, the board is defective. You will need a technician to perform | ||||
|
| this test. | ||||
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
6. The burn pot gaskets are missing or have to be replaced | Burn pot gaskets are located in the metal ring at the bottom of the burn pot. These | |||||
|
| gaskets prevent heat lost from the igniters to get a fastest ignition. | ||||
