SOLUTION
*Ensure the stove is plugged in to a 120VAC electrical out‐
let and a Surge Protection unit.
*Check outlet for electrical power and proper voltage.
*Check spade connections from the stove power cord to the
main wiring harness.
*Confirm mode of operation.
(See Section #4.12 "Setting Mode of Operation"
*Confirm power to the board by pressing the START
touch pad. Do any LED's light up?
*Check the 9 pin wire connection to the board.
*Inspect the board for any blown circuitry. Before
replacing check for the cause of the blown circuit.
*It could be a shorted wire or defective electrical compo‐
nent.
*Inspect the main wire harness, connections and wire.
*Ensure the hopper is filled with fuel.
*Check the Auger Cycle LED on the control, if flashing rap‐
idly, this indicates a vacuum problem, hopper lid open or
over temperature error.
*Ensure door is closed and securely latched. An open door
will trip the vacuum switch and disengage the feed auger.
*Check vacuum hose for blockage or disconnection
*Listen for a faint intermittent hum of an operating feed
auger motor. The motor only runs for 3 seconds at a time.
*Check for possible jam, clean out drop chute area.
*Ensure the hopper lid is closed.
*Ensure ash pan is tightly secured.
