Mt Vernon AE - low fuel warning

[Caribfan]

My control panel is showing a low fuel warning which comes on when the hopper is almost empty. However, the hopper is NOT almost empty - in fact it is almost full. Anyone know where the sensor for this is?

On the left side of the hopper. Check your control board and make sure the connection is complete. Also refer to the owners manual.

Mine has done that since day one.

Unplug the stove. Take the left hand side panel (when facing the front of the unit) off. This will make the control board visible. The low fuel sensor is sticky tape mounted right above the control board stuck to the side of the hopper. There should be a white or yellow crayon like line the surrounds the low fuel sensor move the low fuel sensor overlapping the line so it's almost not visible and check the connection at the board when your done. Slightly moving the sensor should fix the problem if not you need a new one.

Is that really needed?, get real!

Mine has done this off and on, typically I stick my hand in the hopper and move the pellets around. This usually gets to go off.
