pellet feed rate

[drscoot]

I have an england pdv 25 I just bought less than a month ago. I bought it new but it says its a 2008 model.I have noticed that no matter what the heat setting is on the lower auger still feeds the same amount of pellets- the fire doesnt get much bigger no matter what setting you put it on. The bottom numbers are set to 6-4-1. Any thoughts?

Check the thermostat connector, perhaps it is missing its jumper if you are not running on a t-stat.

sorry i havent reposted on this but ive been out of town. I checked the t stat jumper wire and it is there and feels tight. I can turn the fan and heat settings up to 9 and still dont get much heat out of it. In my front room i can barely get 70 degrees when its almost 50 outside? I have tried several different brands of pellets and noticed a little difference but not much.

I suggest contacting Englanders T/S dept 800-245-6489 ... the different pellets that you have tried are they generally longer than 1" in length as bridging in the feed process can result in poor delivery of pellets to the burn pot equalling less heat

I'd check the auger paths and augers, and call ESW .
