TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE

When your stove acts out of the ordinary, the first reaction is to call for help. This guide may save time
and money by enabling you to solve simple problems yourself. Problems can be caused by to only
five factors: 1) poor fuel; 2) poor operation or maintenance; 3) poor installation; 4) component failure;
5) factory defect. You can usually solve those problems related to 1 and 2. Your dealer can solve problems
relating to 3, 4, and 5.
STOVE SHUTS OFF AND THE #2 LIGHT FLASHES
Possibles Causes
1.-Airflow switch hose or stove attachment
pipes for hose are blocked.
2.-The air inlet, burnpot, interior combustion
air chambers, combustion blower, or exhaust
pipe are blocked with ash or foreign material.
3.-The firebox is not properly sealed.
4.-Vent pipe is incorrectly installed.
5.-The airflow switch wire connections are
bad.
6.-The gray wires are pulled loose at the
Molex connector on the wiring harness.
7.-Combustion blower failure.
8.-Control board not sending power to
combustion blower.
Possibles remedies (Unplug stove first
when possible)
Unhook air hose from the air switch and blow
through it. If air flows freely, the hose and tube
are fine. If air will not flow throw the hose, use
a wire coat hanger to clear the blockage.
Follow all cleaning procedures in the
maintenance section of the owner's manual.
Make sure the door is closed and that the gasket
is in good shape. If the ash door has a latch,
make sure the ash door is properly latched and
the gasket is sealing good. If the stove has just a
small hole for the ashes to fall through under
the burnpot, make sure the slider plate is in place
to seal off the firebox floor.
Check to make sure vent pipe installation meets
criteria in Owner's Manual.
Check the connectors that attach the gray wires
to the air switch.
Check to see if the gray wires are loose at the
Molex connector.
With the stove on, check to see if the combustion
blower is running. If it is not, you will need to
check for power going to the combustion blower.
It should be a full current. If there is power, the
blower is bad. If there is not, see #8.
If there is not current going to the combustion
blower, check all wire connections. If all wires
are properly connected, you have a bad control
board.
