STOVE WILL NOT FEED PELLETS, BUT FUEL FEED LIGHT COMES ON AS DESIGNED
Possible Causes: Possible
Remedies:
1.
Fuse on control board blew
Remove the control board. On the back there is one fuse. If it appears to be
bad, replace it with a 5 Amp 125 Volt fuse. Plug the stove back in and try to
run the unit.
2.
High limit switch has tripped or is defective
Wait for the stove to cool for about 30 - 45 minutes. It should now function
normally. If not use the owner’s manual to locate the high limit thermodisk.
To test if the thermodisk is bad, you can bypass it as described previously
for the POF thermodisk.
3.
Bad auger motor
Remove the auger motor from the auger shaft and try to run the unit. If the
motor will turn, the shaft is jammed on something. If the motor will not turn,
the motor is bad.
4. Auger
jam
Start by emptying the hopper. Then remove the auger motor by removing
the auger pin. Remove the auger shaft inspection plate in the hopper so that
you can see the auger shaft. Gently lift the auger shaft straight up so that
the end of the auger shaft comes up out of the bottom auger bushing. Next,
remove the two nuts that hold the top auger biscuit in. Then rotate the
bottom end of the auger shaft up towards you until you can lift the shaft out
of the stove. After you have removed the shaft, inspect it for bent flights,
burrs, or broken welds. Remove any foreign material that might have
caused the jam. Also, check the auger tube for signs of damage such as
burrs, rough spots, or grooves cut into the metal that could have caused a
jam.
5.
Loose wire or connector
Check all wires and connectors that connector to the auger motor, high limit
switch, and the Molex connector.
6.
Bad control board
If the fuse is good, the wires and connectors check out good, and the high
limit switch did not trip, test for power going to the auger motor. If there is
not a full current going to the auger motor when the fuel feed light is on, you
have a bad control board.
HIGH LIMIT SWITCH KEEPS TRIPPING
Possible Causes: Possible
Remedies:
1.
The convection blower is overheating and tripping the internal
temperature shutoff.
Clean any dust off of the windings and fan blades. If oiling the blower does
not help, the blower may be bad.
2.
The stove is being left on the highest setting for extended periods of
time.
The highest heat level setting is designed for use over short periods of time.
Burning the stove on the highest setting for longer than 1 – 2 hours could
lead to potential overheating situations.
3.
Fuel other than wood pellets is being burned in the stove.
Golden Eagle pellet stoves are designed and tested to use wood pellets. No
other types of fuel have been approved for these pellet stoves. If there are
signs of other types of fuel being used, stop using them immediately.
4.
Power surge or brown out situation.
A power surge, spike, or voltage drop could cause the high limit switch to
trip. Check to see if a surge protector is being used on the stove. If not,
recommend one to the consumer.
5.
High limit switch is malfunctioning.
If the other items check out ok, replace the high limit switch.
