Hello! I am new to forums and to pellet stoves. My husband and I got married last year and moved out together ( early 20's). We purchased a quadra-fire 1000 and it worked for about 4-5 months then quit working. We were both working at the time so we were able to afford to have someone come out and "fix it"....3times...cost us over 1500$! By this time we gave up and decided to save up to fix it for this year through someone else (that guy ended up going out of business). Well I lost my job and we are now expecting a baby so money is tight. We had someone come out last month and they fixed it for 150$..but now it's not working...again. I have cleaned it out, bought a new computer box, replaced the thermo coupler, replaced the ash catcher (I forget the technical name), bought a new thermostat, and the guy replaced a few wires he sid were burnt out. We can't afford for another trip out from the pellet stove doctor, yet we can't afford a new pellet stove either PLEASE HELP!
The problems:
The stove turns on but no pellets drop from the auger. After about 10minutes it turns off and wont turn back on with the thermostat (never fired up in first place, but wont even start the stove now). The reset button will not allow me to push it, and last time the (150$) guy came out to fix the stove a fuse in the computer box blew without him knowing why. (I have replaced the fuse 3 times now)
I am 23 and my husband is 24. We try to do things ourselves because it always helps if you know how to fix things that you own. Please help us with trouble shooting guides. WE HAVE NO HEAT! Thank you for your time in advance!
