About a month ago I posted a thread about about a blown fuse. Service tech, and enviro rep could not figure out why. tonight when i walked downstairs I saw the buildup in the pot, and new the fuse blew again. Eric was right lol, It waited for a cold night to blow. The dealer put the fuse in wrong, and I had to bend the tabs back into shape to get the fuse to fit properly. Thanks god I did not damage anything. Anyway, what would be the cause of the fuse to blow every once in a while. I am wondering if the agitator could be getting caught on some pellets in the burn pot, causing resistance, and making the agitator motor pop the fuse. As soon as I put a new fuse back in, it fires right back up, and it may run now for another month? I am scratching my head, and my warranty just ended go figure.
 
With cars, if a problem is documented before the warranty runs out, it's still covered. We can only hope pellet stove manufacturers are as responsible. :confused:
 
I hope so, I am gonna fire it up later, and keep a eye on it, and give them a call and see what they say.
