Englander 25PDV Air Output Temp

[Bodeman]

Perusing forums here and elsewhere, I'm wondering if the room air output temp on my Englander PDV is lower than expected. My setup is as follows:

• 25PDV
• lower settings 6-4-1
• Mode is d, (thought it odd for a PDV, but called Englander and they said the Default for a 25PDV built 08/08 is d)
• The side round 3/4" holes in the burn pot above and below the wear plate have been plugged w/ Hillman plugs as several folks on here have recommended.
• Pellets being burned are New England Wood Pellet.

After about a 3.5 hour continuous burn from startup at 8/8, the air temperature of the convection air coming out of the left most vent hole measures 127 degrees as measured 1" from the hole.

After about a 3.5 hour continuous burn from startup at 4/4, the air temperature of the convection air coming out of the left most vent hole measures 104 degrees as measured 1" from the hole.

Thanks for any insight!

I ALMOST think that it should be mode 'C'. That said, in addition to the side holes being plugged did you modify the burn plate? The two go somewhat hand in hand.

I've never measured my output temps but running on 7-9 right now and it cranks the heat.

Hi Eric, *that* was quick! Not terribly familiar with mode settings - - I know many things can be accessed for servicing, and that there are settings, but beyond being aware of them, I've not dabbled in them, since it was doing a good job (E-codes aside.) I *did* modify the burn pot & plate, but saw zero improvement, so a couple of pre-season once-overs ago, I restored the pot/plate to their original condition. Can you tell me (or point me to ) more about the burn modes?

Your stove has modes A,B.C and D should be in D mode. Make sure your Air on Temp is set on 1.

Have you checked what mode your stove is running in D is default C is hotter, A and B are for other stoves.

Could you check what mode your stove is set at: Should be D mode.

Unplug the stove
Plug power lead back in and press both the up and down blower speed buttons at the same time within 4 - 5 seconds and then release the buttons, you should now see a letter (A, b, c or d) in the left or right digital display under heat range or blower setting, you need to change this to 'd' using the up / down buttons below that readout once set to 'd' wait 10 - 15 seconds then unplug the power again and wait 5 seconds. (Sometimes the mode that you want does not set and defaults back to the mode that it was in before, repeat this step to make sure the mode that you want is set.)
