I've looked around the forum and found a few threads with similar issues but no quite like the one I seem to be experiencing.
My 25-PDV is throwing an E2 error at me, then about 10 seconds later switches to E1 and shuts off. This however doesn't happen right away. The stove starts up just fine and runs for a little while...how longs depends on how hot I'm running the stove. Currently I have those three settings on the bottom of the control board set to 2-3-1. On those settings, if I run the heat range on 2 and blower on 9, I can get the stove to run about 12 hours before the error pops up. If I turn the heat range to 5 or 6, it'll shut off within 45 minutes. Once the Error goes up, I need cool the stove down completely before turning it back on or it will just keep shutting itself off.
Here's a list of stuff I've tried so far:
1. I tried bypassing the exhaust vacuum switch, didn't do anything. (As a test, I didn't leave it that way) Stove still behaves the same way.
2. I checked the gaskets on the door and glass, they seem to be fine.
3. I read somewhere that the E2/E1 error combination has something to do with a faulty exhaust blower, so I bought a new one and replaced it...that seemed to make it last a little longer without giving me an error (wouldn't run 12 hours on low before, more like 3 or 4)
I'm thinking it might be the control board at this point, but I really don't want to shell out 300 bucks and find out its not the problem. Do you guys have any ideas? I'd love some input from someone who knows more about this thing than I do. I'm about clean out the chimney but somehow I doubt that will do anything since it was still erroring out when I by passed the vacuum switch...plus I already cleaned it out in September before I started using the stove.
