Loved my Englander 25 PDV when I bought it 13 years ago, ran like a champ. Due to a move, I put the stove in storage (my garage) for about 10 years.
Recently, attempted to bring my Englander back to life to heat my garage for winter projects with my son. It fired right up in the driveway, installing it a couple day.
My issue: The stove will start up properly, no errors, set at 6-4-1. The stove will run randomly (a half hour to 3 hours) like it should. Without any error codes, the stove will shut down (top auger will stop feeding pellets).
Upon attempting a restart after the sudden shutdown, the stove does not go into the proper Start Up mode (no error codes). The stove will NOT feed pellets from the top auger (the bottom auger works). Also, the blower kicks back on within a minute or two (no heat, but kicks on).
Both auger motors work (cross wire tested and will both turn when you hold down the ON /OFF buttons at the same time). I cleaned out the "Door Ajar" port. I checked both rubber hoses for vacuum loss. I eventually bypassed both Vacuum Shut Down Switches, no luck.
After removing all power, cooling down for hours, the unit will start up again, but again no luck.
Any additional suggestions / fixes?
