If the unit was shipped from the Enviro warehouse? There is a good chance its up to date with enhancements. But if your dealer had it in his own stock? Could have been over looked by your dealer.
If your unit has this convection blower(see picture)? It is the old version and should be updated with the new one to reduce the #4 flashing error. Also check your auger cover plate. It should have slots allowing adjustments to reduce feed with high BTU fuels.
Well, I will start with my Season's Greetings to all.
I was coming here to inquire about the #4 light flashing and realized someone else had the same issue before me.
So indeed, my M55 has the old style convection blower. When looking at the picture posted in this thread, I can clearly see that the motor drive shaft and the squirrel cage are misaligned probably due to the weight of the motor.
In my case, it causes a major alternating sideshift (like moving left to right every 2 seconds when heating on #3 setting). And at some point, it simply quits turning thus triggering the high temp limit switch.
When trying to heat at #4 and #5 settings, I get friction noises and not just the little thing: a real annoying and "about to fail" kind of noise.
So I took it apart, I unclipped the motor from the blower and rotated to motor 90deg CW (when looking from the control panel side). Then, I installed a little piece of wood between the motor and the steel frame of the stove, which brought alignment back to normal.... for a January 1st
I will run to my dealer ASAP after holidays and will post my results.
Good to know about the auger plate too, I just found a new kind of pellets made from 100% hardwood and they are simply amazing (called PWI, btw). They now rank #1 in my favorite's list leaving LG's way behind!
On a final note, I would like to add this comment: to all forum members and adminsitrator, keep up the good work you do here, your forum is a source of very valuable information, well organized and well maintained!
Hoping to contribute a little more in the future as the girls grow older (they are 3 and 1!), they'll probably leave me more spare time...
Bye, Benski
