Hey everyone, so I've been reading this forum for some time now and it's given me lots of good advice to keep my Breckwell P2000 running well over the last 5 years (thanks). However I've come across an issue that I just haven't been able to find info on so here we go (sorry for the long post)
When running my breckwell will shut down and display the #2 light blinking, usally it means it's time to clean the stove or the exhaust pipe. I cleaned the stove and pipe like normal and the issue kept popping up, the combustion motor was making a whirling sound so I replaced it (sounded like a bad bearing) while I was at it I replaced the door and glass gasket since they were looking beat up and the "dollar" test wasn't working as well as it did when I tested it back in November. I inspected the tube going to the air switch and tested the switch, it worked fine (I could hear a slight click). So I put the stove back together and for a day it ran without issue, the flame was the strongest I've ever seen the only thing that was different was the glass got really dirty fast (I'm assuming the air leaking in was keeping the soot off the glass). Here we are a week later and the issue is happening all over again, after only 8 bags of pellets it seems very odd. Here is the confusing part.
If I keep the air damper almost all the way in the stove will stay running, I hear the air switch clicking like crazy but it stays on, the issue with that is the pellets don't burn fast enough and within 12 hours they're spilling over the sides, if I open the damper more the air switch stops clicking and stove shuts down with the blinking #2. I cleaned it a second time and it doesn't seem to make a difference, I've searched your forum and haven't found anything that tells me how to fix the issue. Any ideas?
