Ashley AP5660L tripping breaker

[Mikegyver]

My Ashley AP5660L pellet stove is tripping the breaker seconds after powering on. I have tried plugging it into two different circuits with that same issue so suspect it’s the stove and not the home wiring. Stove worked fine last time I used it in April.

Tried cleaning it out but problem persists. Previous owner (I bought the house in March) replaced the room blower two years ago so not suspecting that. When it powers on the display light up and I can hear the fan briefly then it trips. I’m new to pellet stoves so trying to learn as I go along. Looking at just buying most replacement parts and swapping them out until it works. Any suggestions on possible culprits?

Thanks!

Try unplugging the igniter then see if it trips breaker. First thing that powers on is the exhaust blower followed by the igniter. Igniter pulls a lot of power.

Very strange. There should be a small fuse(s) that blows long before a home circuit breaker. Could be something wrong with the AC cord itself. You should check for any signs of damage or loose connections. Sounds like a dead AC short.
