10.3.4 DEFECTIVE IGNITER FUSE
❖ The igniter is defective: Test the resistance (ohms, Ω) with a multimeter. If the value is near zero, replace
the igniter and the G fuse (see Section 11.9: Access the fuses).
❖ The wiring harness shorted. Inspect the wiring and replace any defective wire and or connectors. Make
sure the wires are not shorted to the furnace frame. Replace the fuse G (see Section 11.9: Access the
fuses). Go to the "TROUBLESHOOT FURNACE" page (see Section 10.2: Testing Components) and
follow instructions for component check. Test the igniter to see if it glows. It should take no longer than two
minutes.
10.3.5 AUGER FUSE
❖ The rotary valve or auger is jammed or gear motor failed. Go to the "TROUBLESHOOT FURNACE"
page on the LCD screen (see Section 10.2: Testing components) and test both gear motors. If one of the
motors is not running check if motor is defective or if the pot auger or rotary valve is jammed.
NOTE : IF THE HOPPER GEAR MOTOR FAILED OR THE POT AUGER OR ROTARY VALVE IS
JAMMED, TO AVOID PELLET SPILLAGE, EMPTY THE HOPPER OF ITS CONTENTS BEFORE
EXECUTING THE FOLLOWING TESTS.
o
If a gear motor is defective, check to make sure that electrical connections are not loose and check the
fuses E and F (see Section 11.9: Access the fuses) on the pellet control board. If the fuses are good,
remove the faulty gear motor from the hopper rotary valve or from the pot auger (see Section 11.3:
Gear motor replacement) and retest the motor separately using the "TROUBLESHOOT FURNACE"
mode. Make sure the hopper lid is closed. If the motor runs, rotary valve or the pot auger may be
jammed by a foreign object. If no signs of blockage are found, call your dealer or after-sale service to
perform a complete testing.
o
If the pot auger is jammed, remove it from its housing (see Section 11.4: Auger replacement). Once
the auger has been removed, make sure it is straight and there are no metal flaws, burrs, or broken
