What moisture content is your wood at?

I think that is a pellet stove, no?

Vacuum switch? Did you check it to make sure the silicone wine is clear?

Does the fire start then in about 15 min goes out ?

Moisture content is good. Pellets have been in basement for a month. I did forget to say that the fire starts and then the pellets burn out. It’s like the stove is not calling for pellets.

Sounds like the proof of fire switch (exhaust Temp Sensor) is dirty or malfunctioning
Here is the manual

Are the pellets just going out or is the stove shutting down?

The only sensors that I have on my stove are the 120 ceramic fan temp sensor and the high limit temp sensor 200 degree with manual reset. Which one do you think I should change. Thanks

I guess it is shutting down as the mode light and number 3 heat temp starts to blink and it stops feeding pellets.

Don't just throw parts at it ! Remove the 2 wires at the 120 Deg
sensor and join together Do not ground the wires Try to run your stove
Does it run OK ? If so remove sensor and replace it OR If it is dirty on the underside
(covered in ash) clean it and try again .
