What to do if my Drolet ECO-65 shuts off and displays a warning code?

  Dennis ParksAug 20, 2025
  If your Drolet Pellet stove shuts off and shows a warning code, it could be due to a few common issues. First, make sure the stove hasn't run out of pellets by refilling the hopper. Next, check the burn pot for blockages and clean it thoroughly. Also, inspect the air intake, combustion chamber, and venting system for any partial blockages, following the maintenance instructions. If the issue continues, test the auger motors independently to see if they are jammed or have failed, ensuring the hopper lid is closed and checking fuses F2 and F6 on the control board. Lastly, consider the flue temperature sensor (thermistor) might have failed, preventing the stove from starting correctly after the ignition cycle.

  If your Drolet Pellet stove stops feeding pellets, several issues could be the cause. Ensure you're using adequate fuel and that the burn pot openings are clear, with no ash around the igniter tube. Verify that the venting system is properly installed according to the manual and the manufacturer's instructions. Check for any blockages in the air intake shutter, combustion blower, burn pot, heat exchangers, exhaust channels, exhaust blower, or venting system. Also, ensure the burn pot and baffle are correctly installed with no blocked holes. If problems persist, the combustion blower may need cleaning or the convection or exhaust blower might be defective.

What to do if Drolet Pellet stove feeds pellets, but will not ignite?

  If your Drolet Pellet stove feeds pellets but won't ignite, start by checking the fuel quality and ensuring the burn pot openings are clear of ash. If the problem continues, the igniter might be defective; test it to see if it glows red within two minutes, checking the wiring and F3 fuse if it doesn't, and testing its resistance with a multimeter. Also, consider that a malfunctioning thermistor heat sensor could prevent the stove from igniting properly.

Why does my Drolet ECO-65 Pellet stove shut off and show a code?

  Jorge RossAug 26, 2025
  The Drolet Pellet stove might shut off and display a warning code due to several reasons: the hopper is out of pellets (refill it), the burn pot holes are blocked (remove the burn pot and clean it thoroughly), the air inlet, interior chambers, or exhaust system is partly blocked (follow all cleaning procedures in the maintenance section), one of the auger motors has failed (remove the auger motor and test it; if it doesn't turn, it's defective or has a faulty connection), one of the auger shafts is jammed (remove the auger shaft and clear any obstructions), or the thermistor heat sensor has malfunctioned (contact a dealer or technician).

  If your Drolet Pellet stove stops feeding pellets, it could be because an overheat zone was detected on the auger housing (wait for the stove to cool down, inspect it, reset and restart it; call a technician if the issue persists). Another cause could be that the hopper lid has stayed open for more than 3 minutes (close the hopper lid, reset the unit, and start it again; if the lid is properly closed, the hopper lid switch is defective or misconnected).

What to do if my Drolet ECO-65 Pellet stove control board displays nothing?
- J
  James LoganSep 1, 2025
  If the control board of your Drolet Pellet stove isn't displaying any information, a fuse on the control board may have blown. Remove the control board and check the F7 fuse on the back. If it appears bad, replace it with a 7.5 Amp 250 Volt fuse. Then, plug the stove back in and try to run the unit.

What does it mean if my Drolet ECO-65 is running but displays a warning code?
- P
  Paula GloverSep 3, 2025
  If your Drolet Pellet stove is running but displaying a warning code, it may be due to a power failure that occurred while the stove was running. The stove will restart on the initial setting once it cools off. For short power failures (less than 5 seconds), the stove will continue to function at the selected speed.

Why does my Drolet ECO-65 Pellet stove have a smoke smell coming back into the home?
- H
  Hannah CarrollSep 7, 2025
  If you smell smoke coming back into your home from your Drolet Pellet stove, there are a few potential causes. First, inspect all vent connections for leaks, as the venting system is pressurized and requires sealed joints. Also, check for worn gaskets on doors and clean out traps, replacing them if necessary and ensuring the door is well-adjusted. A faint wood-burning odor during ignition or shutdown is normal, but excessive odor or soot buildup may indicate venting system leaks or poor gasket condition.

Why does the auger motor on my Drolet ECO-65 Pellet stove stop feeding pellets and then come back on?
- A
  Amy GardnerSep 8, 2025
  If the auger motor in your Drolet Pellet stove stops feeding pellets and then restarts, it may be overheating due to a jammed auger. Remove the auger from its housing to resolve this issue.

  wrightlisaSep 12, 2025
  If your Drolet Pellet stove feeds pellets but will not ignite, it could be due to a blockage in the igniter tube or inlet (remove the burn pot and clean it thoroughly, ensuring all openings are clear). It could also be a defective igniter element (supply power directly to the igniter element; if it doesn't glow after 30 seconds, it's defective and needs replacement). Another potential cause is a malfunctioning thermistor heat sensor (contact a dealer or technician). The control board might not be sending power to the igniter (check the voltage; if it's lower than full current, check the wiring; a technician may be needed). The pump may not be connected properly or isn’t working properly (verify that the plug is connected properly and if the pump is running during the lightning cycle).
