STOVE FEEDS PELLETS, BUT WILL NOT IGNITE
Possible Causes:
1. Air damper open too far for ignition.
2. Blockage in igniter tube or inlet for igniter tube.
3. The burnpot is not pushed
completely to the rear of the firebox.
4. Bad igniter element.
5. The control board is not sending power to the igniter.

SMOKE SMELL COMING BACK INTO THE HOME

Possible Causes:
1. There is a leak in the vent pipe system.
2. The gasket on the combustion blower has gone bad.
CONVECTION BLOWER SHUTS OFF AND COMES BACK ON
Possible Causes:
1. The convection blower is overheating and
tripping the internal temperature shutoff.
2. Circuit board malfunction.
Possible Remedies:
Push the air damper in closer to the side of the stove for startup.
In some situations it may be necessary to have the damper
completely closed for ignition to take place. After there is a flame,
the damper can then be adjusted for the desired feed setting.
Find the igniter housing on the backside of the firewall.
The air intake hole is a small hole located on bottom side
of the housing. Make sure it is clear. Also, look from the
front of the stove to make sure there is not any debris
around the igniter element inside of the igniter housing.
Make sure that the air intake collar on the burnpot
is touching the rear wall of the firebox.
Put 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 bad.
Check the voltage going to the igniter during startup. It should
be a full current. If the voltage is lower than full current, check
the wiring. If the wiring checks out good, the board is bad.
Possible Remedies:
Inspect all vent pipe connections. Make sure they are sealed
with RTV silicone that has a temperature rating on 500 degree
F or higher. Also, seal joints with UL-181-AP foil tape. Also,
make sure the square to round adapter piece on the combustion
blower has been properly sealed with the same RTV.
Inspect both gaskets on the combustion blower
to make sure they are in good shape.
Possible Remedies:
Clean any dust off of the windings and fan blades. If oiling
the blower does not help, the blower may be bad.
Test the current going to the convection blower. If there is power
being sent to the blower when it is shut off, then the control board
is fine. If there is NOT power being sent to the blower when it
shuts off during operation, then you have a bad control board.
