Enviro Windsor exhaust full of ash

[pbois334]

Ok, So I just took my Enviro Windsor stove outside to do a good cleaning prior to using it this season. As I disconnected it from the chimney I observed the first couple of feet of pipe was chock full of ash. Could this mean the exhaust motor is not keeping up? The stove burned about 1 ton since the last cleaning of the t-pipe coming out the back. Just wondering if someone could point me in the right direction ? or do I just have to the disassemble the pipe more often. I should note that the stove is vented through an existing fireplace. There is 3' of double wall 3" exhaust into 14' of ss 6" chimney liner to the roof. I

If the exhaust blower wasn't working properly, you'd know it by either bearing noise or it would not create enough vacuum inside combustion chamber, that would give you a vacuum flashing light on the motherboard (#2). It sounds like you just have to clean the system, piping and stove internals and she'll be ready to go. Good luck with her.

I bought the stove used last year and towards the end of the season it was making some noises. I completly disasembled the entire stove and cleaned the inside. I ordered the parts to do a complete rebuild, blower, convection, auger bushings and motor. Wish me luck

Were you burning high ash pellets? You should clean your vent after each ton burned.

Ok, I completed my full tear down and with all now blowers and motors. I have run the thing for two day andnow the convection blower is whining/whistling . Do u think I just have a bad blower? Low speed the blower is quiet but high speed is terrible

Sounds like a bushing or bearing screaming for you to pay more $$$ or try and add some oil to it or the old one

Wow. Brand new motor too. That stinks. I'm going to try and return it

Second motor now starting to whine after 2 days. What is going on? I used a Fasco A212 to replace original motor as the enviro blower was $300. Could this be my problem or is something else going on?

Should of bought a Whitfield, same convection blower 18+ yr's, replaced the working combustion blower 3 yrs ago, sometimes had to push start it

Now I'm not even sure the fasco is a direct replacement for my Windsor. What is the Whitfield #?
