Hi everyone,

I'm new to fire stoves.
I'm renting a place that has a stack ferra 830 I'm having problem with not getting any heat.
The blower goes off is middle then on is either side.
Back plate is cracked no fire bricks.
I removed the out case and it's full of dust and other stuff.
I have taken some photos

Can you let me know what you think.

Welcome. I am sorry to say that the stove looks shot. I would not burn with it. The back shield badly cracked but more importantly, so is the top casing. The insert looks like it has been run hard in spite of deteriorating components to the point of trashing the stove. It does not look safe to burn in and needs replacing.
 
Yes, that's too bad. it looks like it was originally a nice old heater, but the top is rusted out.
