Manual if it has a damper should be in there ive had 3 pellet stoves only one had a damper and it was a pain, most slow/speed up coombustion blower so you dont need a damper

If fires going out and you dont have a damper you have to much draft, had this problem with one stove on a tall chimney, i could have manualy adjusted blower but instead i run it on a higher setting as the draft problem only occurred on the lowest settings (it would burn pellets too fast) you can also probably adjust feed rate. Point is usually everythings adjustable

It will do it on any setting. I have new board , motor fan. Completely cleaned it all. It will fire up nice and blow heat then in 45 min shuts down with E3 code. I can start it right back up and it will do same thing. I have short chimney

Well are there still pellets in the burn pot when it goes out? E3 error mean out of fuel

If it has a damper it will be on the back right above the air inlet pipe, not all 5790's have dampers.

Well are there still pellets in the burn pot when it goes out?

Need to know the answer to this question? Is burn pot empty when stove shuts down or is it over flowing with pellets?

If no damper you could partially block air inlet tube with HVAC aluminum tape or even a piece of aluminum foil to test if stove is getting to much draft. If you have outside air kit installed some have added a ball valve in the flex pipe to use as a damper control.

Have you ever observed the stove actually stop burning, does the auger slow down and not put enough pellets in burn pot? If so your auger could be going bad. When is last time you cleaned the hopper out is there to many fines/pellet dust in hopper?

Does the exhaust blower slow down and pot fills with pellets that could mean dirty vent/stove or exhaust blower is going bad.
