Why is there no heat in my Tarm Biomass Solo Plus 30, and the temperature is below 150 ºF?

If there's no heat and the boiler temperature is low while burning wood, it could be due to several reasons. First, ensure there is enough fuel in the boiler and that the fan output is sufficient; restart the fire if needed, clean the fan wheel if it's dirty, and clear any blockages in the air ducts. If the fan isn't working, check the power and control panel components. Make sure the by-pass damper is closed and sealing properly. Clear any obstructions in the combustion chamber through the lower door. Clean ash off the refractory, clear ash from the floor of the boiler, and brush the heat exchange tubes. Use split and seasoned wood with moisture content at 20% or less. If the fan operates slowly, the motor capacitor may need replacement.
