PROBLEM CAUSES SOLUTIONS
? Blower will not operate.
♦ No power to stove.
♦ Blower is defective
♦ Ductwork is inadequate and is
overheating the blower motor
9 Check to see that the stove is
plugged into the wall outlet.
9 Check to see if your circuit breaker
has “tripped”.
9 Check wire connections to make
sure that all are connected.
9 Have dealer replace blower motor
9 Correct the duct work
? Soot or fly ash in the house.
♦ Cleaning the window, particularly
when the stove is operating.
♦ Leakage on the joints between the
combustion fan, exhaust pipe and
“PL” vent. This will be evidenced
by dust on the impeller of the
convection fan and in the heat
exchanger tubes.
♦ Using a conventional vacuum
for cleaning. Ash will bypass.
♦ Negative pressure in home is
sucking the ash out of the unit
through the door when cleaning,
etc.
9 Clean the glass when the unit is not
running
9 Seal any leaks in the exhaust system
with RTV high temperature silicone
sealer.
9 Use an approved ash vacuum
system.
9 Have the home checked for negative
pressure and proper installation of
ductwork, etc.
? Buildup of soot on glass, venting and
heat exchangers
♦ Dirty fuel
♦ Wet Corn (above 15% moisture)
♦ Inadequate air supply
♦ Negative pressure in home
9 Make sure you have clean fuel
9 Dry the corn down to 11-12%
moisture if possible or mix with
wood pellets
9 Turn manual draft control open
slightly to make sure that there is
app. ½ inch of fuel in firepot
9 Install outside air to unit and make
sure that the home has adequate
make-up air. (suggested 8” make-
up air into basement)
Fuel Stirrer keeps jamming or
breaking Buildup in the firepot
Dirty, Wet fuel
Poor fuel quality √ Add Clean Burn additive
√ Clean and dry fuel. Try a different
fuel source.
