STOVE SHUTS OFF AND

 

APPEARS ON CONTROL BOARD

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Possible Causes:

 

 

 

Possible Remedies: (Unplug stove first when possible)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

1.

Airflow pressure switch hose or pressure tap for hose are

 

Unhook air hose from the airflow switch and blow through it. If air

 

 

 

blocked.

 

 

 

flows freely, the hose and tube are fine. If air will not flow through

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

the hose, use a thin wire to clear the blockage.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

2.

The air inlet, burn pot, interior combustion air chambers,

 

Follow all cleaning procedures in the maintenance section of the

 

 

 

combustion blower, or exhaust pipe are blocked with ash or

 

owner‟s manual.

 

 

 

foreign material.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

3.

Vent pipe is incorrectly installed.

 

Check to make sure vent pipe installation meets the criteria in the

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

owner‟s manual as well as the pipe manufacturer‟s

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

recommendations.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

4.

The airflow pressure switch wire connections are faulty.

 

Check the connectors attached to the pressure switch.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

5.

The airflow pressure switch wires are pulled loose at the

 

Check to see whether the wires are loose at the connectors.

 

 

 

connector on the wiring harness.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

6.

Exhaust blower failure.

 

 

 

This blower must turn on when you start the unit. If it does not, make

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

sure there is power on the connections. If the power is connected,

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

the motor is probably defective; if there is no power, see #7.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

7.

Control board is not sending power to exhaust blower.

 

If there is no power going to the blower, check all connections. If all

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

wires are properly connected, you have a defective control board.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

8.

Control board not sending power to airflow pressure switch.

 

There should be a 120-volt current going to the air switch after the

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

stove has been on. You will need a technician to perform this test.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

9.

Airflow pressure switch has failed (very rare).

 

To test the airflow pressure switch, you need to disconnect the air

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

hose from the blower casing. With the other end still attached to the

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

switch, very gently suck on the loose end of the hose (you may want

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

to completely disconnect the hose from the stove and the switch first

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

and make sure it is clear). If you hear a click, the switch is working.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Be careful: too much suction can damage the switch.
