Depends, does yours have the inner baffles as well? They changed the design at one point. By your model # you have an Advantage II-T or III (do you have the tri glass door or one piece glass?)

 

[Ranger72]

If it is the newer design this will help:http://www.butkus.org/whitfield_pellet_stove.htm

I can't track down a picture of the older one, like I have, but the inner baffles can be a tad tough to put back in, they are situated like an upside down J.

Couldn't find a pic, but this might help. https://www.hearth.com/talk/threads/removing-ash-traps-on-the-whitfield-advantage-series.58313/

Its a 3 window it drives me nuts I took them out walk away and can't get them back in

 

[Ranger72]

I had a diagram, but can't find it!

 

[klr650]

Thanks for looking I hope I can get them in tonight

Here you go.

 

[Ranger72]

My right side baffle goes in no problem, the left side is like wrestling a gorilla over a banana. The top of the stove warped slightly.

 

[klr650]

I don't think its warped they came out easy lol

 

[Ranger72]

That diagram is how they go in. Did it show up? I see it on my phone

 

[klr650]

Yes it did I will let you know how I make tonight thanks for your help we will see what happens

 

[Ranger72]

Good luck! Just don't get frustrated, you'll get them in.

hey Ranger72 got them in no i just need to figure out why the combustion blower is not coming on any idea how hot the stove needs to get before it will turn on ?

 

[Ranger72]

The combustion blower should turn on as soon as you press the start button. You have this control board? :

 

[klr650]

no its a older stove its two dials and a switch

 

[Ranger72]

Ok, mine was updated to the newer one. The combustion blower should turn on right away. That is what gives air to fuel the fire.

 

[Ranger72]

When you press the red start button, the combustion and connection blower should turn on.

 

[klr650]

ya the don't what would make that happen could one of the contacts be junk

 

[Ranger72]

Does the stove power up at all? Meaning does the auger turn on or the convection blower?

 

[klr650]

i sorry i meant convection blower the combustion blower that exhaust the smoke turns on

 

[klr650]

it works when i put direct power to it

 

[Ranger72]

Both blowers should kick on when you press start. You may have knocked a wire to the convection blower loose while cleaning.

Check the terminal block, see if the #3 wires have a good connection.
