Lopi Yankee NO START UP AT ALL, please help!

[rwshiel]

Hello All,
I have checked past questions posted and could not find a similar problem. I turn the stove on and get one red blink from error light. Nothing else happens (no blower, no auger, nada). I suspected the control panel was bad and had it tested at dealer (tested good). Anyway, now I suspect a switch, however, it seems that the switch problems are only applicable at a cycle point later in the stoves operation (Am I wrong on this?).

This unit has a wireless remote thermostat which I disconnected to simplify troubleshooting.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks
Rob

UPDATE--I have checked the switch on the intake blower and it is in a Closed position. The switch on the exhaust blower switch is in a Open position with 110plug unplugged, when i plug the stove in it goes to a Closed position. The vacuum switch is a Open position, and i jumped this to a Closed using wire (no success in stove start up).

check that your hopper lid is completely closed. my lopi leyden has a switch that won't let the stove operate if the lid is open. (small round brass button) sometimes a small pellet on the gasket is enough to keep the lid from closing all the way. That hopper lid switch may also be bad.

Thanks for responding. I checked and I don't have a hopper lid switch at all. In fact, I have run my stove while the lid is open. I updated my post showing my OPEN/CLOSE checks on the switches to see if someone can help with that info.
Thanks
Rob

I've used this travis service guide to help with some trouble shooting with my lopi yankee bay stove, though older I found many of the trouble shooting flow charts still apply to my stove, if your somewhat tech-knowledgable this may help.
