Im working only daughters 25-PVDC stove
Its just a year old and has ran pretty much no issues till yesterday
I went over and found the stove would lite and run about 5 min after the start up cycle was complete then the top
auger would shut down, it would give e1 then e2 code
I went ahead and took the exhaust blower apart and cleaned it and the cavity plus hose to vacuum swith
The hose was cracked at the blower so I cut it off and put everything back together with a new gasket on the blower
Figured the cracked hose was the problem
I clean all the rest of the stove and made sure the other vacuum hose was clear
Put the stove back together and let it start up again
5 minutes after the start up cycle it shut down again
Bad part about this is that pellets are still smoldering for awhile but the exhaust blower would shut off
Causing smoke not being exhausted, not sure why they built the stove this way
I checked the vacuum switches with a meter and found the one attached to the firebox wasn't pulling in
I rechecked the hose and port and all was good
I found if I laid the switch on its side it worked but not if mounted on its side
I tried another used switch I had and got the same thing
Not sure what the issue here is, just bad switches or lack of vacuum
Im ordering a new switch but what else concerns me is should the exhaust blower be shutting down?
At first I thought the issue may be the heat sensor not closing shutting the stove down and also the exhaust blower
Not sure how the system really works
