Could a weak room blower cause pellets not to burn completely and pile up?
 
Some stoves use one motor for the Room blower and the Combustion Blower . In this case the answer is Yes.
Also if there is a voltage or board problem it would also be a symptom.
 
No I have ef2. 2 separate motors. I have been having massive pellet build up and pellets not burning well. Never have had this happen before with this stove. I cleaned, leaf blew etc. And still is doing it. The only other issue I am having right now is my room blower squeals some times. So I am think that is not at full speed. Causing an issue of some sort.
 
The room fan is supposed to be oiled I believe so that may solve that issue. The Enviro manual I read said basically that if having ash and pellet buildup and after cleaning and further pulling the rod out does not solve issue to do a deeper clean and call the dealer
 
Yeah, I have oiled it. After I do it's fine for a few days then back to squealing. I have the air rod almost all the way out.
 
You may be using the wrong type of oil.
 
I am using a 3 in 1 which was recommend. ???
 
Then the fan is probably past when the couple drops would have helped:( Have a electric motor shop around that can possibly replace the bearings?
 
No. Mine is read and white.

That's a penetrating oil and not really good for motor bearings as it has a high amount of carrier and not much oil
 
Oh good. Guess I will have to find my post to see who recommended it.
 
The 3 in 1 in the blue can is recommended.
