Hey guys
I'm new to the forum. I did a search and found no answers.
My Dad bought a used American Harvest 6100 Pellet Furnace. He decided he didn't want to use it, so he gave it to me. I installed it in my basement 2 days ago. Used a wall thimble knocked a hole in the bricks, whole nine yards.
We just got it out of the shop. When we first plugged it in, it blew 2 fuses repeatedly. A small pellet stove dealer here installed an agitator motor and an auger motor. I believe he got the parts direct from usstove.
I have 2 problems with the furnace.
First: as soon as I plug in the furnace, the agitator begins to run before I even press the power button. The only way to shut it off is to unplug the unit from the wall.
Secondly and most important: today it ran out of pellets. We started smelling smoke and I looked at the stove and it showed Err 2 on the screen. According to the manual this is the code for loss of fuel. Sure enough it was out of pellets. The stove still had red hot pellets in the burn pot, but the draft fan was not running. Smoke was coming out of the draft holes in the front and even coming from the pellet storage box. The whole house smells like burned pellets! Why didn't the draft fan keep running and blow this out??
If the American Harvest 6100 is a complete waste of time, someone please tell me now before I spend more money on this thing. My wife already wants it gone as you can imagine. The stove did an excellent job heating the house before this happened. I would like to keep it.
Anybody know what's wrong with it?
Thanks in advance.
