Dell-Point Europa 75 - Ash Auger Fuse Location?

[jnddavis]

Can anyone help me find the location of this fuse? I keep getting an F6 error code. Thanks, AJD

The fuse for the ash auger is on the back of the control board. First pull the plug (so you don't fry any electronics) then remove the screws so the control board can be removed (wires are pretty tight from being tied together) so be careful when turning the board around. Looking at the back of the board, on the right side near the bottom there are two fuses. the top one is for the upper (feed) auger and the lower one is for the lower (ash) auger. they are 1/2 (one half) amp fuses. May be marked .5A or 500 milliamp. The other fuse to the left of the bottom auger fuse is 10 Amp and is for entire board.

I hope this helps

Thanks Clair,
Fuses are all O.K. so now I am trying to locate a replacement ash auger motor for the Dell-point Europa 75 (built around 2007) pellet stove. Have not had any success to dat. Any help on this would be appreciated.
Thanks,

Before you order a auger motor; Get access to the motor and test motor with a 12volt battery and leads or a 9volt Duracell battery, it should run the motor if the motor is good. Positive or negative connection will run the motor forward or backward

You can also test the motor by exchanging with the auger feed motor. They are identical.

EDIT; Keep in mind that the feed motor won't run if combustion fan is not running and there is vacuum in the burn chamber.

Finally able to test ash auger motor with a 9 volt battery this morning and the motor sounds just fine. Anyone know if there is some kind of resets or something that I am missing. I have the stove pulled out away from the wall and have the back off so I can get to just about anything. Thanks

jnddavis, I sent you a pm. Keep in mind that the vacuum switch has to be closed by the combustion blower creating a vacuum in the burn chamber.
The vac switch may be defective.

lowcostheat,
Rechecked fuses and this time found bad fuse in socket 21. Replaced with a .500 ma. I tried to run the feed auger with a 9 volt battery and it would not budge.
Went out to the barn and brought in a 12 volt car battery. The feed auger was jammed and putting the 12 volts to it did the trick. After a few growls it now turns freely.
I put things back together to give the old girl a try. I was almost afraid to start it up but now it’s blowing nice warm air the feed and ash augers are working.
Thank You, Thank You, Thank You! for all your guidance and assistance.
Wishing you all the best,
jnddavis

HI Clair,
so the two fuses on the very bottom of the board, left one is 10 amp for the entire board, and right next to it on the right is a half amp fuse for the ash auger. The fuse that is separate from those two, a few inches up on the board, is the feed auger, half amp. Is that right. I got confused because the entire board fuse and the ash fuse are right next to each other. thx.

That is correct.

 

[lowcostheat]

That is correct.

Thanks NH, good to see you are helping us "older guys" out. Be well, and warm.

what is the best gasket for the door on the Europa? thanks! Amazon has several. I guess my question is about the thickness. They have everything from a 1/4 inch to 7/8 inch. thanks. I'm thinking 3/4 inch.

Would you be interested in buying the gasket which comes from the stove manufacturer? It will fit and be the correct size and probably cost no more.

no thanks, just bought one from Amazon. It seems okay although the fuel is still burning down to the bottom of the pot and going out. I need to check auger motor next. What's the best access? Do i need to pull stove away from the wall? thx. dave in Mass.
