Enviro Mini Shuts off on start up

Have you checked your manual?

1. The stove will not start

• Make sure the stove is plugged in and the wall outlet is supplying power.. (Have to love that one!)
• If the Control Board has been placed in ON/OFF thermostat mode, then turn the thermostat up to call for heat.
• Check the Heat Level Indicator. – If the #2 light is flashing (see the # 2 light is flashing)
• Check the fuse on the circuit board.
• If the unit still does not start, contact your local service dealer for service.

You can get the manual off the website:

If it is blinking, normally you have some blockage in the vacuum tube. You can blow detach and blow the tube out and it usually fixes the problem.

I have had my Enviro Mini for a couple of years and the issue of the stove shutting off a few seconds after the starting is getting progressively worse. I looked through the posts on this subject and have also been through the manual. Can anyone explain what's causing the issue and how I might be able to fix it.

Thanks

I am currently burning Athens pellets. Definitely higher ash and not as much heat as the Corinth pelets or Pennintons that I burned last year.

Can you explain a little better please?

Does it start and feed pellets and then burn out then shut off? Or does it start an not drop pellets and shut off??

From page 23 of the technical manual linked in a post above--

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

4. Light # 2 on Heat output bar flashing
(The Vacuum Switch contacts have opened for more than 15 sec.)
Pinch, break or blockage in Vacuum Hose - Check hose for pinch points or damage, replace or re-route as required. Blow out Vacuum Hose
Blocked Hose Barb on Exhaust Channel - Use a paper clip to clean out Hose Barb or remove the Vacuum Hose from the Vacuum Switch and blow into the hose to remove blockage.

This started happening after about the first three tons. I removed the side panel, pulled the vacuum hose off its fittings and blew through it. It was full of fly ash.
Replaced the hose and no problem for a couple weeks, then it started again. Removed the vacuum hose again and blew through it but it wasn't clogged. Used a paper
clip and vacuum cleaner to clean out the tiny holes in the hose fittings at both ends and stove has worked fine since. I should have read the manual more carefully
the first time.
