After about an hour of stove running, stove shuts down completely. Like it was unplugged. Causing smoke to come out of hopper. E1 is on control board meaning blockage . I've checked the flue both inside and out as well as the smaller intake air one. All good. I've called technician and he said take combustible motor apart for blockage which I did and it was clean. Do I need a new combustible motor? New vacuum sensor or what? Help meee
 
We will need more detail like what Make and Model of stove
how old . How you have it vented . Maybe it needs a good cleaning
Top to Bottom
 
Agreed - most likely needs a good in-depth cleaning, and a leaf blower treatment.
 
Sounds like my 25pdvc...if you can do the leaf blower trick (disconnect vacuum switch hoses) that will most likely help solve the issue....and if you have the same stove my guess is the heat exchange passeges are blocked up with ash. I blasted my exchanger paths with compressed air while the leaf blower was running, as i was getting E1 errors every couple of weeks.....even after the Leaf blower treatment

Sucker runs like new now :)

Might also want to check the condition of the vacuum switch hose...gets brittle where it connects to the convection blower housing and could leak
