I'm having a problem with my Castile insert. It's about five years old.
It starts up fine and the auger feeds pellets after ignition - the flame looks normal.
THEN… shortly after the blower (the one that moves heat into the room) comes on it quits feeding.
Would it be operating at all if there was a problem with the vac switch? Any idea when it starts checking for vacuum?
Is this most likely related to the temp? I was thinking maybe it was a false high heat shut down?
How is the snap disc reset?
Any test for a bad thermocouple?
I should also mention, I cleaned the exhaust blower and the chimney for the first time recently, so the stove was moved around a bit and the exhaust pipe disconnected too. Not sure if that could be my problem.
Thanks for any help you all can give! This seems like a great (or grate, as it were) site!
