Good evening all,
I just cleaned/repainted my firepot on my Quadrafire Contour and replaced the firepot door. Prior to that (last season) it had been working fine.
Put in 1/2 bag of pellets and started it up. Red call light came on. I set temp to high and opened auger plate to its most open setting as I had cleaned it bare last fall. The first thing I heard was what sounded like crumbs rattling inside the unit. Opened right door and looked in and it looks like the blower gasket has gone bad because tiny crumbs of pellet are falling from around/between the gasket and hitting the blower fan as it's spinning, making the 'crumb rattle'. Auger is not feeding. Igniter was getting hot. I never got feed or fire so I didn't get any thermocouple lights to come on.
While I had it opened I pulled/checked the vacuum tube and it's fine/unobstructed.
What else do I check next besides replacing the blower gasket?
Thanks,
Jason
