whitfield prodigy manuel

[jimml]

I really need an owners manuel to fix my whitfield prodigy wp3 pellet stove.
I got this stove for free and it is missing the convection fan and the wiring leads to it.
The prodigy looks like it gets the combustion air from where the convection fan feeds in. I really need an exploded parts view and a wiring diagram to make sure things go back together properly.

Does anyone know if these stoves combustion air was fed with positive pressure by the convection fan? It does not have a duct for outside air to be supplied for combustion and this is unusual for a stove that is approved for manuactured homes.
I am currently checking the major components to see if they are ok. The auger motor is ok, but I havent gotten to the combustion fan yet. Is the combustion fan what is termed as the booster fan I see advertised online?

I really needan exploded parts drawing and a wiring diagram to get this back together correctly,
if you have a copy of a whitfield prodigy wp-3 pellet stove manual I would be very grateful to get a copy.

Thanks for any help or advice

OK I think I found a parts list and a wiring diagram, but I am having trouble with some of the lingo.
I don't know what a slaved exhaust fan is.
I don't know if I have a slaved or non-slaved exhaust fan. This would help me pick the correct wiring diagram.
will a convection fan from an advantage be a correct replacement?
prodigy serial # 5167
I dont see where the low voltage wires (red,white and black) would plug into the control panel
I believe I have an SSAC control board
Still wondering if this stove is worth the effort
I cannot see this much iron becoming useless
probably depends on wether the control panel is ok.

The Prodigy is a decent stove, but parts are tought to find for them. The fans can be rebuilt, but finding a new one is almost impossible. Definitely check on ebay, or search craigslist for someone getting rid of theirs for a parts unit.

Here's a good website for part info and diagrams:

Rap, Hearthtools is out of business.....nothing on that site works anymore, as far as i know. Best bet to find parts would be to use www.Froogle.com, type in the name of the stove and a part number, and see what shows up....or as you mentioned, try eBay.

And on a side note, I miss seeing Rod on the forum.....another one of the Good Guys that helped anyone that needed it.


EDIT: I tried inputting the stove name in Froogle, and got this: www.google.com/products?q=whitfield+prodigy&aq=f

The website for troubleshooting is still going. I made sure before I added it to my post.

It does stink not seeing Rod on the forum.

fyi, i just checked out the service manual in the link i just posted, and it is a must have to answer the questions you have posted!!

thanks for all the help
the serial # is 5167
I dont see any reference on the label about prodigy I or II
I will buy the manuel, if I get done assesing how many parts need replaced and wether its worth rebuilding.
At this time I think it neds a convection/combustion blower and the exhast blower.
I really like the small footprint of this stove- perfect for the garage, and intermittent use. But I am a bit hesitant about the positive pressure fire box, are other stoves set up this way? Should this be something of concern? It will be my first pellet stove.

The controlboard has 8478 written on the back with a permanent marker, is that the serial number?
And what is a slaved or non slaved exhaust booster fan?

Again thanks for the help, I am currently trying to tun an insert into a freestanding stove (advantage II with wrap around window #52593)

I went from awoodstove to 3 pellet stoves almost overnight and now I gotta get one set for winter. Talking to some friends about buying pellets by the semi. This may be a warm winter after all.

and whats with the firestarter thing- I sound like a kid playing with matches. Oh yeah I guess I am.

its a nice stove, worth rebuilding, just look at the price of a new model.
the service manual is comprehensive
