TROUBLE SHOOTING ‐ continued
The auger motor does not function normally.
 If the auger shaft does not turn but the motors armature tries to spin then this is a sign your auger is
jammed. Try to remove the blockage by poking at the fuel in the drop tube. If this does not work
then empty the hopper and remove the auger cover and clear the blockage (Note: Before removing
the auger cover disconnect power to the unit).
 Make sure the hopper lip is fully closed to engage the hopper lip interlock.
 Check for voltage at the auger motor, if none check circuit board fuse. Replace blown fuse with 1
amp fuse.
 Ensure the exhaust blower is operating.
 Check the vacuum hose is connected or damaged.
 Bypass the vacuum switch by placing a jumper wire on the two electrical connections. If the auger
motor starts to function normally replace the vacuum switch.
 Check the manual reset on the 200° F high limit switch. If the switch has been tripped, check for the
cause of the overheating, reset the switch and check if the auger operates normally.
 Bypass the 200° F high switch by placing a jumper wire on the two electrical connections. If the
auger motor starts to function normally replace the high limit switch.
 If the auger is not jammed and you have tried the other possible causes, connect 120 volts directly
to the auger motor. If the auger motor does not work replace the auger motor.
The 200
o F High‐limit switch has tripped.
 Reset the switch and determine the cause. It is normally a faulty circulation fan. If the circulation
fan does not operate apply 120 volts directly to the circulation fan, if it still does not operate replace
the circulation fan.
Heater will not shut off.
 If room thermostat is used, make sure it is turned down below the room temperature
 Disconnect one of the wires to the exhaust temperature sensor, the heater should then shut off;
replace sensor
 Depress the ON/OFF button to "OFF". If the heater will still not shut off, disconnect power to the
unit and call your local dealer for service.
Heater Flame keeps going out on "LOW" setting.
If the flame goes out and leaves fresh unburned pellets in the burn pot liner then the fire is going out
before the unit shuts off.
 On the control panel, use HEAT button to turn the heat level up to the next setting, poorer quality
pellets require a slightly higher setting.
 If it is on heat level 1, you may also adjust the fuel feeding rate slightly by pressing the Auger Trim
button.
