What to do if United States Stove doesn't start a fire?
- Llaura89Aug 5, 2025
If your United States Stove doesn't ignite when you press the 'ON' button, turn the stove off, then clear any unburned fuel from the burnpot and try starting it again. Make sure to check the pellet quality and replace them if they seem moist, wet, or dirty. Ensure there isn't a loss of draft pressure by checking that the viewing door is sealed properly (adjust the door catch or replace the gaskets if needed), that outside connections are free of obstructions, and that the exhaust system is clean. Also, check that the auto-start igniter isn't blocked by ash or soot and that the pressure switch connection to the firebox is clear. If the igniter isn't glowing red during start-up, it may need replacing, or there could be an electrical control system issue.
