Stove was cleaned 2 weeks ago. When was the vent piping and ESP last cleaned?
Also, blink status would help.

Blink status will help with some direction:
From the manual:
FIRE HAS GONE OUT- Check for status light.
1. No fuel in hopper.
2. Draft is too low, blocked flue.
3. Something is restricting fuel flow.
4. Hopper lid not closed properly.
5. Feed motor or combustion blower has failed.
How is your hopper gasket? Make sure it is in tact and no pellets are stuck in it or have damaged it.
