stove starts as it should, auger feed is normal starts to ignite then the auger shuts down
Stove and flue are extremely clean. Air sensor has been cleaned. Low limit and high levels mit switches have both been replaced
Before this stove was running great all season then on the coldest night of the year the stove shut down with an error code 2 which is overheating high limit. I let the stove cool down replaced the high limit switch and it has been malfunctioning ever since.
Don't know what else to attempt to get running again
 
Cleaned everything again
Started and ignited but then auger shut off stove shut down
Error code is now 0 which is low exhaust temp
Any suggestions will be appreciated
 
Bke7 im thnking your air sensor is not detecting airflow through the stove thats what turns off the auger after it goes through the startup sequence 12-15 min. Have you cleaned and lubed the combustion blower? Blower housing?
 
Combustion blower is clean, blower housing clean
The stove starts fine but when it reaches the point where combustion blower should come on it just smolders then the auger shuts off and fire dies

Combustion blower should run as soon as you hit start. Convection blower should come on when the temp is met for proof of fire. I dont know about the air sensor. Hopefully there will be someone that is knowledgeable of the stove chime in
 
Low and high temp switche s are new. Stove is completely clean including flue. For unknown reason it shuts down and auger stops
With no way to check the air sensor , is it feasible to try replacing it. Removed air sensor and cleaned it at the beginning of this
 
Any chance your flue or chimney cap is partially plugged?You may have gotten a bad switch,also.Does the combustion blower stop,then pellet feed stops?I do not have a tech manual for the newer units like yours,but here is the link for the older units,perhaps it will help. http://pelletstoverepair.com/IntegraTechManual.pdf You can call the only dealer left,they are--Off Grid Stoves and More.
 
After reading the manual ( thank you Bob) , I would agree with the suggestions that the Air Sensor is reporting no or low air flow.
Looking closely at the diagram of this sensor , it looks like a MAF - two bits sticking out , one heated one not.

Silly question : after cleaning it , is it possible to put it back the wrong way round ?
If you can , that would certainly cause the problem.
 
Pick up a new low temp switch in case the other one was defective. Replaced low temp switch , replaced air sensor the stove does the exact same thing.
Starts but auger appears to be feeding too fast, burn pot almost fills before igniting , just before that the auger shuts down.
Pellets in the burn pot burn but then , runs for 15-20 mins before shutting down then give error code 0 thinking it has run out of fuel.
Very frustrating because all symptoms point to a faulty low limit switch, this does not appear to be the issue here
Also if anyone knows of a repair tech that could troubleshoot and repair this austroflamm integra insert in the litchfield county area of CT
 
Did you call Off Grid Stoves and More?They might be very helpful,and they also repair the motherboards.
