Sounds like the convection blower isn't doing its job. Is it running? Is it clean, including the fan itself?
Thanks for the response! Yes all clean including outside pipes and fan itself. We use a shop vac and canned air to clean it all out. Gets cleaned multiple times a week. It runs for a little bit then shuts down because extremely hot.

Either it's overfeeding, or it's not being cooled by the convection fan/heat exchanger. Are you getting the normal amount of air from the heat outlet vents?
If it were overfeeding, I would expect unburned pellets showing up in the ash pan, and an unusually large flame.

I think I am going to buy a new convection fan and give that a try. Unless anyone has any other ideas. But seeing that a couple of people have suggested same thing i am going to keep my fingers crossed. There doesn't seem to be unburned pellets either.

Is the fan working? Convection is the room blower fan. Maybe the settings got changed somehow? Should be at 1 for on temp if its like the rest of the stoves..
1. Blocked flue (E-1)
1. Check for flue blockage (nests, rodents, excess soot, etc.)
3. Improper installation* (E-1)
3. Check for loose flue/pipe connections. Also be sure to have proper Outside Air hook-up.
*Improper installation may cause a back draft.
*NOTE: Also check for loose or cracked vacuum hose on vacuum switches
