I am very new to the pellet stove world. I only recently started using one when I moved in with my fiancé. She has a englander 10-cpm thats 6 seasons old. Used for Michigan winters. It had been running flawlessly since November till last week. We let it run out of pellets on a Friday while we were at work so it would be cooled down and ready for it’s weekly clean out when I got home.
I cleaned it out as usual via vacuuming out entire insides, scraping the burn pot and brushing the stir pot stick etc. Filled with pellets and turned on. 10 mins later it shut down with E2 code. I unplugged and re fired the stove and it wouldn’t re light, the igniter appeared to not be glowing red as usual. So I replaced it with a spare she had. I did noticed that the original igniter as well as the new one did not sit right inside the igniter tube, it was at an angle so the tip was against the side at the end. I know it’s not ideal but we needed heat.
I tried it again and the igniter worked, everything appeared to be working ok then it went out again, I nicked pellets were no longer being fed. Long story short I read on here how to take apart and clean the auger, and the all the blowers and exhaust etc. So I spent 3 hours completely cleaning the stove. The auger was jammed so bad with crushed/fine pellets that it took me a lot of effort to remove it.
put all back together and it feeds fine but now no igniter, desperate to get heat I followed instructions to manually light the stove, and I had success. It burned seemingly fine from Sunday to yesterday (Tuesday) when I noticed the burn pot was over flowing and the flame was very lazy. When I put it in shut down mode I heard the combustion blower turn on and the flame immediately got better with the air flow it was supposed to have.
I switched to the on button and it went into its start up sequence which kept the combustion blower running, but after start up was done the blower again kicked off and the burn pot wasover full and burning poorly. It has since been shut down till I can figure out what the heck is going on with it. Any advice is GREATLY APPRECIATED.
