travis ind. stove, in most cases, will burn will till it cycles to cool down, outside ambient of 40* upon thermostat restart, pellet auger cycles till burn tray overfills, without initiating flame, sometimes I can unplug and restart, with another successful burn cycle. ive taken exhaust apart and cleaned soot with compressed air, all burner ports the same, smaller tubes with pipe cleaners, possible door glass leak resealed, dissected troubleshooting link from operation symptoms, and not positive control board might be cause, I just thought posting here might have someone with similar experience, maybe offering some advise, of anything I might be overlooking.
 
Error codes? How old is the stove? Has the igniter ever been replaced? Checked snap discs? That would be my starting point... cheaper items that are good to have spares of.

If you don't have this yet, it may prove helpful...

I have replaced the igniter, 3 years ago with no use, stove purchased in 2003, it has a fault light, but I don't see information about code retrieval, to my knowledge, snap disc/thermal sensor is original, I have the travis manual, and performed relative aforementioned service, you have me thinking the snap disc is remaining open preventing burner operation, is there a temperature test I can do out of the stove, to check open and close temp?
