My pot is overflowing with pellets before ignitor lights fire and I just replace it. Everything is clean and nothing has changed. Also after it finally does light it burn for awhile maybe 45 minutes to an hour and won’t restart. The 3rd light is blinking. Thanks in advance Jerry

Did you have the burn pot out?
If it is in the wrong way or not seated
It takes a long time or will not fire pellets if in wrong
Long lip towards front
When was the last time stove was cleaned from intake (air) to exhaust termination
Flashing # 3 could be too cold a fire to keep 120 deg snap disc closed
remove it and clean poss covered it ash (ash is the best heat insulator)

Hi Johneh I have done all of that and found the hi-temperature sensor was just barely touching the metal. Don't know if that's the problem or not. Also, when cleaning I did find the exhaust temperature sensor coated with black hard soot. I don't know if this is why the pot is overfilling with pellets before lighting.

Is the igniter seated properly?
Are you sure the burn pot is in and seated
2 front tabs seated into their slots?
The liner is in the right way the bigger high lip towards the front
If they are not in and seated correctly the stove is very hard to start or will not start
Here is a manual see page 11

With the Maxx, sometimes the air shutter open too far can cause a long time to ignite. Check that too. If POF snapdisc was coated in black hard soot, sounds like stove is running cool, are the pellets up to snuff? That can cause ignition issues too. Maxx is a heat beast, I always found about an 1.5" of silver shutter showing out of side to be best air spot. Maxx is one Enviro that shutter needs to be set good... Good luck with her.
