I have P2000I Breckwell fireplace insert. I have used it for a few years and experienced many of the problems discussed on this site. This year I thoroughly cleaned and lubed the insert, including taking the liner out and cleaning it. When I started using it the fire would burn flat and then after 10 minutes I would have smoke built up and it would go out. Turns out the top of the liner had insulation around that was blocking the air. I fixed this and it started working for a few weeks. I tried starting it 2 days ago and it drop a few pellets and then stopped with a blinking 2. I unplugged it and when I plugged it in and turned it on it dropped a couple pellets but never really started and the only light on is the on/off. I tried bypassing the POF thermodisk with no luck. Any advice would be appreciarted. I tried it again bypassing POF and everything started except the combustion blower.
