Hi Everyone - was hoping to come on here and only try to help others with their questions but again we have an issue with our MVAE. We gave it a thorough cleaning and started it up for the season - ran fine. A couple days ago, there was a misfire but then it started up again on its own. After that, the house starting smelling like smoke and after some investigation, we found still smoldering black pellets in the ash pan. We removed the ash pan and put it outside, then thoroughly cleaned the stove again. Thought the issue was fixed, and then again yesterday (just one day later), I started smelling smoke again and found the same issue. I know the stove is clean because I just cleaned it. The manual is not helping. It says it may be the igniter but we just changed that last year. Why is it dumping partially burned pellets into the pot? Is there a way to make the fan stay on longer after the last pot dump to keep removing smoke from smoldering pellets? I am at a loss here. I feel like we can't leave the stove on if we leave the house because we may come back to a lot of smoke and that nasty smell. Please help! Thanks!
