Hello;
Last night I noticed the stove burning really hot. The bricks on the hearth were extremely hot. The stove shut itself down. Light #2 was blinking, indicating the heat sensor had tripped. I cleaned the stove and noticed the burnpot was full of a "pumice" like material, that easily came out with a screwdriver. I just switched two days ago to Lignetics, so I assumed I got a bad bag, as they were very dark, and did not seem to burn properly. I assumed the full pot somehow caused the excess heat, causing the heat sensor to trip.
I cleaned the stove, reset the heat sensor, and put in New England pellets. It burned fine for 8 hours. This morning, the stove burned really hot again, and again it shut itself down, light #2 blinking indicating the heat sensor was tripped. The burn pot this time was fine, no build up.
I last cleaned the stove, stem to stern, 3 weeks ago. All blowers and fans seems to be working fine. I am burning on setting #4, which is not even the highest setting. Is there some sensor that is failing and causing this?
Any suggestions?
