when I turn my stove on the blower comes on and pellets drop and then it shuts down and flashes E2 all less than 30 seconds. The stove is only a little over a month old. I checked all wiring conations check snap discs. There is no customer support for this company.

E2 is lack of vacuum. Pull the hose off the vacumm switch(inside the back of the stove) and try to blow through the hose. Make a note which nipple you take the hose off of. If you can blow through it, reattach it and pull the 2 wires that are connected to the switch and connect them with a paper clip. Make sure you don’t touch them or they don’t touch the stove. Your dealing with 120vac and it bites. When they are connected turn the stove on and let us know how you make out.

Thank you I will try it tonight and let you know tomorrow. Yes, I cleaned it out just how the manual said to do.

Hello I have the same problem. Nothing working. Everything is clear and clean. So I tried the paper clip. That is making the stove work. Is that safe to run that way. I have ordered a new vacuum switch. But want to know if it is safe to run with the paper clip?
 
If you bypass the switch as a temporary solution while awaiting parts it's 'OK' IF you're around when the stove is in operation. Do not leave the stove unattended. It's a safety device.

Good to know you got it solved. I always vacuum that fitting when cleaning the firebox. Loosely of course.
