Failed Ignition - Drolet Edison Installation And Operation Manual

Edison Installation and Operation Manual
page 1 in the "TROUBLESHOOT" menu if the temperature displayed on the line "
EXHAUST TEMP" displays a value equal to the ambient temperature in the room
where the appliance is installed. If this is the case, turn on the stove and check the
same temperature display. If after 10 minutes, the value has not increased despite the
unit is in operation this means that the temperature sensor is disconnected or
defective. If the temperature rises, the problem may be with the feed rate or pilot mode.
Depending on many factors (ambient temperature, pellet quality, etc) the heat
produced by the stove may not be sufficient to keep the exhaust temperature high
enough. To resolve the situation increase feed rate (see Section 6.1.7: Combustion
Settings and Pilot Settings depending on Fuel Quality).

9.3.3 Failed Ignition

Inadequate fuel is used. Remove the burn pot, make sure that all openings are clear
and check that no ash has filled the tube around the igniter. Refer to the maintenance
section. Also, make sure that recommended fuel is used (see Section 5.2.1: Proper
Fuel).
The igniter is defective. Go to the troubleshooting page (see Section 9.2: Testing
Components) and follow instructions for component check. Test the igniter to see if it
glows. It should take no longer than two minutes. If it does not glow red, check the
wiring. If the wiring is properly connected, disconnect the igniter and check its
resistance (ohms, Ω) with a multimeter. If the value is near zero, replace the igniter.
The flue temperature sensor failed. The "thermocouple" is a heat sensor located on
the exhaust motor housing. Its function is to tell the control board that the stove has
ignited properly by measuring the heat at the exhaust. When the stove is cold, check
page 1 in the "TROUBLESHOOT" menu if the temperature displayed on the line
"Exhaust TEMP" displays a value equal to the ambient temperature in the room where
the appliance is installed. If this is the case, turn on the stove and check the same
temperature display. If after 10 minutes, the value has not increased despite the unit is
in operation this means that the temperature sensor is disconnected or defective. If the
temperature rises, the problem may be with the feed rate or pilot mode. Depending on
many factors (ambient temperature, pellet quality, etc) the heat produced by the stove

situation increase feed rate (see Section 6.1.7: Combustion Settings and Pilot
