Hi coresuper....you have found a forum with intelligent and very knowledgeable people. ( I am not really one of those people...but I do have the stove you are having an issue with. )But....more info would sure be helpful. When the green light is blinking has the stove went into shutdown mode? If it is in shutdown mode,it will give you a red light on the heat level LEDs. Heat level 1-5 corresponds with error code 1-5. Each being a specific fault. How old is your stove? Did you read the thread above ? Very useful info. Especially cleaning the horseshoe area behind the fire box. Cannot stress this enough....this area needs special attention to clean. A little info on how the flame is? Is there unburned pellets in the burn pot? I have the same stove and it worked flawlessly this winter for me. A few tweaks here and there and it seems to work great for me. A search with Baby Countryside will give you a few hours of interesting reading. And the few tweaks that help make the stove burn efficiently. The picture below is my control panel in operation. Hope this helps....

It is not in shut down mode. The stove continues to work with the light blinking, just not real well. I have even unplugged it to see if it would reset, but it just started blinking again. The stove is about 9 years old. I just bought the house and had it professionally cleaned. Please explain the 'horseshoe area' behind the firebox. Theflame is somewhat small to me. The firepot has always filled up to the point of overflowing and causing the auger to back up, shutting the unit down. This can take anywhere from 6 to 10 hours to do.

This is a great thread that explains clean out of the area.

I will bet the flashing green light above the power switch is your auger light,flashes every time the auger is turned on,very normal.Before you condem the stove suggest do some reading about the unit, will post link,a ton of info,you will have to open up drop downs for the older units.

The green light just above the power button flashes while the stove is running. The auger button has a green light over it that lights whenever the auger is running. I would bet anything you're looking at an airflow issue due to improper cleaning. If a professional does not how to clean this stove, the area in the Horseshoe is probably full causing a restriction. That explains the lazy flame and the burn pot filling up. You will find your answer in the links provided.

Looks like board is shot.There should only one light lite up on the heat setting side.

I watched my stove during startup. Pushed the on/off button. Green led above the on /off button started blinking while the igniter was on lighting the pellets. After roughly 8-10 minutes the convection fan starts running. Then the led above the on/off would stay solid green. Does your igniter glow red during startup? Does the on/ off led ever stay on without blinking ? I doubt your control board is bad....in my opinion.
