Here is what I know:
*Igniter works perfectly....just put a brand new one in
*Stove has been maintained well. Burn pot holes are clear.
*Augur motor works and feeds pellets fine. Vacuum line is clean and free of dust & debris.
*Brand of pellets is North Idaho Energy logs-been using them with no problems for over a year.
*There is about 3/16 inch of gap on the opposite side of the burnpot cleanout door hinge. (maybe I will tighten it up to a dime thickness gap)
I have watched what happens when the stove is turned on and have documented it. It is as follows:
-Combustion motor starts and red call light comes on (not red light inside of control box)
-Pellets begin feeding (didn't time it)
-Ignitor heats up and begins turning orange.
-Heres where I am stumped...
Sometimes it will light and a small flame appears. At which point I wait for the red light inside the control box to come on & pellets to begin feeding. The red light does come on everytime which indicates the augar to feed pellets. Sometimes it does and sometimes it doesn't. Why? When it doesn't is when the pellets that are in there from the start up process just fizzle out and the stove shuts off and the red light in the control box is still on as well as the call light....
Again, vacuum hose to augar motor is clean and free of debris & burn pot holes are clean. Entire stove inside and out is always kept showroom cleanliness, vacuumed twice a week. Chimney (exhaust) piping flap is cleaned out etc. I am replacing the tadpole gasket around the door when it arrives in the mail. Didn't do the $ bill trick (yet). Really...the only thing I can think of is the snap discs. I have located two of them, is there a third? What's the procedure for testing them?
Thanks.
