o Improper venting method ‐ as stated above, one of the key requirements for proper operation
is proper airflow through the entire system. Venting systems with excessive elbows and/or
long horizontal runs can restrict the flow of air to the point that the vacuum switch may not
receive enough pressure to hold it closed. This would prevent feed, as the control board would
assume the front door is open. A dirty flue system can restrict airflow in the same manner, even
if installed correctly. Refer to the installation guide to determine if the installation is within
specifications.
o Hopper lid switch circuit open ‐ ensure the hopper lid is closing enough to engage the switch.
Test in diagnostic mode. Ensure the switch can be pushed manually with hopper open. Check
wires at switch and control board; test again in diagnostic mode. If the circuit still shows
'open,' replace the hopper lid switch.
 Feeds but doesn't light ‐ Test igniter in diagnostic mode; remove the burn pot for observation. After
energizing the ignitor circuit, allow approximately 4 minutes for the cartridge to fully heat up and
observe the igniter sleeve. Check wires at igniter. Replace igniter.
 Stove lights but still has error ‐ Test firebox sensor in diagnostic mode. Check connection at control
board. Verify mounting screw for sensor on exhaust coupler is tight. Replace firebox heat sensor.
Over Temp
An over temp error message will appear when the firebox heat sensor reads too high of a temperature. The
unit can produce a large amount of heat, which is convected out into the room by a convection (room air)
blower that runs at a rate determined by the control board. If the stove is unable to shed the generated heat,
the unit itself will retain a higher percentage of this heat and eventually will shut down.
Potential causes:
 Room air blower not running or dirty ‐ test in diagnostic mode. If the blower does not run, remove side
panels and verify the "squirrel cage" fans rotate freely. Clean out the fans. Check wire connections.
Replace room air blower.
 Excessive ash buildup or improper venting ‐ remove cleanout covers and clean the heat exchange.
 Improper venting method / Clean flue system ‐ as stated above, one of the key requirements for
proper operation is proper airflow through the system. Venting systems with excessive elbows and/or
long horizontal runs can restrict the flow of air, causing a buildup of fuel in the burn pot and higher
exhaust temperatures. Also, a dirty vent system does not allow as much heat transfer, causing
excessive heat to be wasted through the exhaust, where the firebox heat sensor is located.
 Confined space ‐ If the unit is installed in a small room or alcove which does not allow proper
circulation of heat, the unit itself could simply get too hot. Refer to the installation guide to determine
if the installation is within specifications.
