Problem with Napoleon PS40

[jerico54]

I've owned my Napoleon PS40 pellet stove for about 7-8 years and it has run like a champ...until now. The stove will shut itself off after about a 20 minute run...it will have reached temp because the blower will have started but it just shuts itself off. Any ideas?

When was your last major cleaning, from intake to rain cap?

Everything is clean as a whistle.

Near your combustion motor there is a low limit snap disc, unplug stove and pull the wires and connect them together with a paperclip ( be carefull they dont touch anything they will have line voltage) then plug back in and start the stove. If the stove operates normally replace the swith you just bypassed. Note these switches are safety devices so don’t operate for long periods without it.

I'll give this a try as soon as I can and let you know...Thanks

Tried and replaced the snap switch...running like a champ...Thanks
