This is my first time posting to this site but I have an problem with my Englander pellet stove I was hoping I could get some help with.
I bought an Englander pellet stove from Lowe's on 11 - 21 - 2009 and used about a skid of pellets last year. This year I used the last 3 bags of pellets from last yr (Somerset Hardwood Pellets) with no problem. I bought another skid of the same pellets and as soon as I have started using them (I am currently on the 2nd bag) my stove started acting up.
The stove will run for about 45 mins then the top auger will stop working. The fire will burn out but the bottom auger and I have no pellets dropping into the pot. Most of the time I have to push the "on" button to restart it (which it only runs about 15 - 20 mins) or, it will restart on its own (????). I have swept out the burn area and hopper so I know that is all clean and I am almost certain there is no obstruction between augers.
I have checked some other threads on here and think my stove might have some dirt / ash somewhere inside of it which may be causing the problem, but being a new stove owner I have no idea what to do, where to check, etc.
If there is any advice or suggestions anyone could give I would certainly appreciate it.
The model of my stove is a 25-PDVC
Thanks
Doug
