I bought a used m55 knowing that I needed to replace blower for overheats. Installed stove planning on running on low until blower comes. Installed turned on stove. Set to manual. The temperature indicator has a red light at 5 and 1. The stove fans kick on etc...no pellets drop. After 5 minutes or so the 4 starts blinking. The heat sensor didn't seemed tripped nor has it been running. This is all from cold start. Any ideas?
 
Did you give it a good cleaning before trying to run it? Im assuming it is the convection blower you ordered? Does the combustion motor run when you turn on? How is your exhaust vent configured? OAK? (Outside air kit)
 
The combustion/exhaust fan kick on. The chimney is pretty standard out the wall with 4 feet of vertical. Oak is 4 inch no bends straight out the wall. The conviction blower is the part that I was told needed replaced. So yes that's the part ordered. The manual says that the blinking 4 is overheat sensor but it's not running.
 
Sensor has tripped needs to be reset push red button
on the overheat sensor
 
That is the usual problem but there may be others .Note the
button resets with just a light touch . Try connecting the wires
together and see if the auger works . If it is that sensor the stove
should fire up and work as normal . Also make sure you are in
manual mode if you are not using a thermostat.

Roger that. So try to bypass the sensor by direct connecting.
 
pull the wires off the sensor make a jumper and test
make sure you do not ground the wires .

Tried. No dice. The stove comes on. Exhaust coming out of chimney. Air coming in through oak just doesn't light and after 2 or 4 minutes just blinks 4. The frustrating thing is the guy I bought it from tested it and it came on.
 
What type is your stove a Cast, Free Standing or an insert
Check the vac switch make sure all doors are closed and latched
There is a poss. that lack of vac. is the problem
 
A flashing #4 is the High heat sensor tripped AND also if the Hopper Fill door is open for greater than 2 minutes. Are you closing the cast fill door on top of the stove? There is a magnetic switch on the control pad that works with a small magnet on the underside of the hopper fill door.
