STOVE SHUTS OFF AND THE THIRD LIGHT (POF) FLASHES
PossibleCauses: PossibleRemedies:(Unplugstovefirstwhenpossible)

1. Thehopperisoutoffuel. Refillthehopper.

2. Theairdamperisopentoofarforalowfeedsetting. Ifburningonthelowsetting,youmayneedtoclosedownthedamper(pushthe
damperin)topreventburningthefuelintheburnpottooquickly.

3. Theholesintheburnpotareblocked. Removetheburnpotandthoroughlycleanit.

4. Theairinlet,theinteriorchambers,orexhaustsystemhasapartial
blockage.
Followallcleaningproceduresinthemaintenancesectionoftheowner’s
manual.

5. Theaugershaftisjammed. Visuallyconfirmthattheaugershaftisnotrotating.Ifitisnot,startbyemptying
thehopperoffuel.Thenpulltheaugershaftoutoftheaugertubefromthe
frontofthestove.Thencleartheaugertubeofallfuel.
Visuallyinspectthe
augershaft.Makesuretheaugerflightsaresecurelyattachedtotheauger
shaft.Inspecttheshaftforbentflights,burrs,orbrokenwelds.Alsocheckthe
augertubeforsignsofdamagesuchasburrs,roughspots,orgrovescutintothe
metalthatcouldhave
causedajam.Ifthepartsappearfine,reinstalltheauger
intheaugertubepertheinstructionsinthismanual.

6. Theaugermotorhasfailed. Removethefuelfromthehopperandremovetheaugershaftfromtheauger
tube.Applylinevoltagetotheaugermotor.Ifthemotorwillnotturn,the
motorisbadorthehoppersafetyswitchhasfailed(see#7below).

7. Thehoppersafetyswitchhasfailedorhopperisopen. Whenoperatingtheunit,besurethehopperlidisclosedsothatthehopper
safetyswitchwillactivate.Checkthewiresleadingfromthehoppersafety
switchtothecontrolpanelandaugermotorforsecureconnections.Use
a
continuitytestertotestthehoppersafetyswitch;replaceifnecessary.

8. TheProofofFire(POF)thermodischasmalfunctioned. TemporarilybypassthePOFthermodiscbydisconnectingthetwobrownwires
andjumperthem.Thenplugthestovebackin.Ifthestovecomesonandworks,
youneedtoreplacethePOFthermodisc.Thisisfortestingonly.DONOT
LEAVE
THETHERMODISCBYPASSED.Yourblowerswillnevershutoffandifthefire
wentouttheaugerwillcontinuetofeedpelletsuntilthehopperisemptyifyou
leavethePOFthermodiscbypassed.

9. Thehighlimitthermodischastrippedorisdefective. Waitforthestovetocoolforabout30‐45minutes.Itshouldnowfunction
normally.Ifnot,usetheowner’smanualtolocatethehighlimitthermodisc.To
testifthethermodiscisbad,youcanbypassitas
describedpreviouslyforthe
POFthermodisc.

10. Thefuseonthecontrolboardhasblown.  Removethecontrolboard.Onthebacksidethereisonefuse.Ifitappearstobe
bad,replaceitwitha5amp125voltfuse.Plugthestovebackinandtrytorun
theunit.
