You don't mention cleaning the venting - that needs periodic cleaning, too.

 

[Hobert]

sorry everything that can be cleaned or blown out, inside and outside

Does it light up then go out or does it not light at all. If it lights and goes out , check the hopper switch. If the switch fails the hopper auger will not turn because it thinks the lid is open

Check for cracked vacuum lines, or vacuum switch may be faulty.

Control board may be bad. Not sending power to auger.

E-2 error code for my PDV just means failure to start. You'd get that if an auger is not sending pellets. If you have switched the wiring from top to bottom and gotten the top to work, I would guess a wiring issue. You may want to try changing the wiring at the control panel to see if the panel has power there. Also your lid has a switch in it, and will not feed pellets if the top is open, or your seals are real bad.

Cleaning is probably NOT your problem. Pellet feeding IS!

Hopper lid has a safety switch, which shuts off top auger when open. Make sure this switch is working properly.

Was fuse removed from circuit? To properly test a fuse, remove it from the holder then test it.

Glass fuse? You can easily see if it is blown after removing it.

Did you get it working?

If not, you might try to call Englander support. I've never had the opportunity but everyone says they're very helpful... once you get to talk to some one - it's a busy time of year for them.

Sounds like something is interrupting the signal to the top auger. Vacuum switch, hopper lid switch, or high limit switch. I think those are it. Otherwise could be a bad control board.

betting its the vacuum switch. if it were hitting the high limit switch then it would at least run for a while until the temp built up. I do have periodic issues with my high limit switch if i dont keep it super clean and blow out the convection fan as well.
