Troubleshooting
Circuit Board Only: Check the fuses on the circuit board (see “trouBleShooting - CirCuit Board FuSeS”).
Unplug the stove and open the left side access panel; check all connections
(especially the auger motor, auger dial-a-fire / circuit board, vacuum
sensor, 200°F (93°C) temperature sensor and the timing control module)
against the unit’s wiring diagram. Ensure the ignitor has not shorted out.
Are all the connections correct?
Correct any
errors.
NO
Is the exhaust blower operating correctly?
Refer to trouBleShooting - the ComBuStion (exhauSt) motor Will not FunCtion normally.
The unit may require a thorough cleaning.
Check for blockage in the Hose Barb.
The vacuum sensor may need to be replaced.
Circuit Board Only: Replace the circuit board.
Timer Control Only: Check the timer controller.
Ensure the dial-a-fire is turned to the “ON”
position.
NO
NO
By pass the vacuum switch, refer to
the
hoW to’S For trouBleShooting - hoW to
By-paSS the vaCuum SWitCh.
Does the auger works?
NO
YES
YES
YES
NO
The combustion blower may not be turning fast enough to generate the proper vacuum in the fire box.
Check vacuum levels in the exhaust channel by bypassing the vacuum switch; refer to the hoW to’S
For trouBleShooting - hoW to By-paSS the vaCuum SWitCh and hoW to meaSure the vaCuum level produCed
By the exhauSt BloWer.
Does the motor fail to reach the minimum reading for the model shown in
taBle 1: Stove SpeCiFiCationS
For amperage, WattageS, and magneheliC readingS?
THe dial-a-Fire Has no eFFeCT on THe Fire - Timer ConTrol only:
Are all connections to the timer control module secure?
Secure the connections.
NO
Test the dial-a-fire potentiometer using a multimeter set for resistance;
refer to
the hoW to’S For trouBleShooting - hoW to meaSure reSiStanCe
aCroSS the dial-a-Fire. The potentiometer should have a range of
approximately 68KΩ to 850 KΩ (± 10%).
Is the range close?
Replace the
potentiometer.
NO
