Why does the US Stove Company Stove display flash 'E1'?

  Christopher GardnerAug 17, 2025
  The 'E1' error code on your US Stove Company Stove indicates that the convection blower is overheating, triggering the internal temperature shutoff. This can be due to several reasons: * Dust accumulation on the blower's windings and fan blade: Clean these components to improve airflow. * Prolonged use on the highest setting: Reduce the heat setting to prevent overheating. * Use of non-wood pellet fuel: Only use wood pellets in the stove. * Power surge: Install a surge protector. * Malfunctioning high limit switch: If other solutions fail, the high limit switch may need replacement.
