Start with basics
When you start the stove
1 does the combustion fan come on and run?
2 do pellets drop into the burn pot?
 
Is your stove clean from the air intake to the exhaust termination ?
No restrictions or plugged with ash. This includes the combustion fan
Check if your stove has a hopper switch.
The hopper switch is located in the upper right-hand corner of the hopper.
This switch is designed to shut down the feed motor whenever the hopper lid is opened
Check the vacuum switch To test put the 2 red wires together and start the stove
if pellets drop check the hose for cracks or holes undo it and blow it out TOWARD THE STOVE
reinstall wiring and try the stove if it fails to drop pellets you will need a new vac switch
When doing any wiring make sure you unplug the stove
Vacuum Switch The vacuum switch is located on the lower right side of the appliance behind right side panel. There are two red wires attached to it. This switch turns the feed system on when vacuum is present in the fi rebox. The vacuum switch is a safety device to shut off the feed motor if the exhaust or the heat exchanger system is dirty or plugged or if the fi rebox door is open or exhaust blower failure.
