TROUBLE SHOOTING GUIDE

Fuel Feed Problems

 Lack Of Fuel In Burnpot

 To Much Fuel In Burnpot

Possible Causes: Possible Remedies: (Unplug Stove First When Possible)

FUEL

The hopper is out of pellets. Reﬁ ll the hopper.

The hopper safety switch has failed or hopper is open. When operating the unit, be sure the hopper lid is closed so that

the hopper safety switch will activate. Check the wires leading

from the hopper safety switch to the control panel and auger

motor for secure connections. Use a continuity tester to test the

hopper safety switch; replace if necessary.

Fuel other than wood pellets is being burned in the stove. This pellet stove is designed and tested to use wood pellets.

Check for signs of fuel other than wood pellets. No other types

of fuel have been approved for this pellet stove. If there are signs

of other types of fuel being used, stop using them immediately.

Bad pellets. (Causes glass to “soot” up at a very fast rate only) The brand of pellets or the batch of pellets that are being used

may be of poor quality. If possible, try a different brand of pellets.

You might also want to try a brand that is made from a different

type of wood (softwood vs. Hardwood). Different woods have

different characteristics when being burned.

AUGER

Auger jam. Start by emptying the hopper. Then remove the auger motor

remove the auger shaft inspection plate in the hopper so that you

can see the auger shaft. After you have removed the shaft, inspect

it for bent ﬂ ights, 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.

The auger motor has failed. 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.

Controls / Operation Problems

 Thermostat malfunction

Possible Causes: Possible Remedies: (Unplug Stove First When Possible)

CONTROL / OPERATION

The thermostat is not controling the stove. The t-stat sensor has come unplugged from the control board.

Check to see if the sensor is unplugged. If the sensor is not

unplugged, then the sensor is damaged, has a short or the jumper

has been left on the board. If the sensor is damaged or has a short,

it will need to be replaced.

The stove is being left on the highest setting for extended

periods of time.

If operating the heater on the highest heat setting, the room

temperature could increase enough and lead to potential

overheating situations. If this happens, try operating at a lower

heat setting.
