Greetings everyone,
Just purchased a used WF Quest Plus (1998) and it was working just fine while I had it in the basement. Moved it upstairs to the first floor and the first thing I noticed is the auto igniter quit working. I can still fire it up with fire gel and it all works fine except the stove won't shut down. The only way to shutting it down is unplugging it from the wall electric socket. I searched through all the posts and some other sites and found that the low limit switch was the culprit. Replaced the switch with a new one ($48) and plugged back on to find out is doing the same thing. Took off (unplugged) this short orange looking hose that connects to the exhaust blower and blew air through it and the stove shut down, but if I let it go, it starts back up again. The stove is otherwise working fine, providing additional heat to the house which is wonderful. I'm fairly new to the Pellet Stove world and hope to have explained this good. Thanks for all your help.
Luis
