my mt vernon ae keeps displaying the message " check ashpan". There are no klinkers or jams. The autoclean cycles the firepot open and closed properly. The stove is new and has burned only 4 bags of pellets so far but started giving the error message after a power outage yesterday. Any help would be appreciated.we unplugged it overnight and it started up fine this am but not in the pm. HELP!

I got the same thing on my Mt vernon. I happen 3 time in the last few days. I seem to happen after the autoclean. To get it to go away the first to time I vaccumed it out realy good and press retry. To day I had to vac and scrap the firepot. I checked the spings and made sure the firepot bottom was closed after the the autoclean. The manual say
Auto-clean jammed
Linkage has become disconnected
If ashpan is empty, check for a jam. Use
a screw driver and firmly push in the
firepot floor holes and flex spring and
push toward home to release jam.
Auto-clean switch is bad
Replace switch
Reconnect linkage
I was about to post the problem and call the dealer.
