shut my stove down yesterday to clean it, when I went to turn it back on after a couple of seconds I got an E2 code, then goes right to E1. I started checking things out, noticed the vacuum hose going to the exhaust blower was cracked a bit. So we cut it down a bit and replaced it. Also cleaned the flue outside. Not sure what else to do...any suggestions on what it may be,
E2 to E1 code on 25-PDV...HELP??

A possibility is the rarely mentioned vacuum port hole located to the right of the burnpot being plugged.
the end of vacuum hose was cracked, we were able to cut it down a bit past the crack...still have the same error message

Look on P. 19 of your owners manual....there are pics of the port hole. It must be kept clean (toothpick or unbent paperclip).
Also, was the entire exhaust system from air intake all the way to the exhaust outlet cleaned? When was the last time the combustion blower was removed and cleaned, along with all the exhaust system in that area? Impingment plate was removed and everything behind it was cleaned? Back steel wall was "banged" on with a mallet to dislodge any hidden ash?
P.19 of my manual shows the hopper latches.
It ended up being the combustion blower, took it apart and cleaned it all out now it is working great. Not sure when the last time it was done. This is our first year with a pellet stove, so we are slowly learning
I looked at the manual on line and now I see where it is, will def check that out also
Glad you found the problem. This is why we ask about cleaning procedures, even after a "newbie" states that his or her stove is "as clean as it can possibly be", or words to that effect.
As we say here often, 80-85% of stove problems are a result of a dirty stove.
BTW, did you buy the stove new, used, or did it come with the house. If it was anything but new, after the burning season is over, the stove should be brought out to a garage and taken completely apart, blown out with compressed air, all gaskets check/replaced, etc, etc.
If it was new, how many tons burned in it so far?

I appreciate everyone's suggestions on what it could of been
The stove came with the house, we were told the old owners didn't really use it. Guess we should of asked a few more questions to know what we really needed to due before the cold season started.

Spend some time on this forum and you'll learn a ton of useful info. Bottom line with these stoves....keep it clean, it will give you good heat.
