    Put a new, updated board in the stove ....pressed the on button...4 minutes later fire, no problem.....well...5 minutes later the #3 light on the board starts flashing meaning the "POF" switch tripped the shutdown.
    I read the manual, hit the re-start button and off we go again...fire...4 minute burn then off again. The 3rd time I re-set it it was ok and I let it burn for a few hrs on #3.
    Tonight I try it again and the same thing....POF trips and the stove goes out. Is the switch bad or could it be the shitty left over bag of pellets I got with the stove...maybe damp, not throwing off enough heat?
    The stove is a little over a year old, completely cleaned ...and then some. I think the damper is set right according to the manual and other threads I have read on the sight.

    Any prescott owners feel free to yell at me if I am doing something wrong....

    thanks for he help

    Hello RWB,
    Is your POF Switch making good contact with the combustion fan? Since you are eventually reaching the POF I would not think that it would be the switch itself or the new control board, please check this

    You might also have a loose connection at the new controller.

    the controller has a pretty firm snap connector...but hey, I will re-connect it and see what happens.

    thanks
