    Ravelli rv80 triac screw

    Hello, another season, another error code. This year we got one I’ve never seen before. “15-Triac Screw”. All my research seems to point towards a system board issue but that’s seems like a very broad stroke. Has anyone else ever seen this issue before? The auger appears to be turning as...

    Pleasant Hearth Auger Woes

    Hello! My name is Jason. This is my first post. I just purchased my first home, and it came with a Pleasant Hearth PH50CABPS. Before trying to fire the stove for the first time, I read the manual and thoroughly cleaned the entire unit. This included removing the pellets from the hopper and...

    Comfortbilt hopper ran low and had darkened pellets in it?

    This might seem like a non-problem, but I wanted to be safe than sorry. Last night I wasn’t the one topping off the hopper in our Comfortbilt stove, so I’m not sure where it started from but it got low enough this morning that the low temp alarm went off and the stove shut down. I got up...

    Breckwell Big E not feeding enough pellets

    I have a Breckwell P1000 Big E (possibly an older one since it doesn't have the removable ash pan, hopefully not a knockoff) that doesn't seem to be feeding enough pellets to maintain a flame. The auger seemed a little clogged up with dust so I cleaned it out and it spins freely now. The motor...

    Ravelli RV80 C - Auger not spinning

    First time poster here hope it makes sense: I have inherited the maintenance and service calls for Moms RV80 whenever it won't light or there is a code thrown. I'm pretty handy so it has been somewhat easy to figure out how the stove operates. Over the past couple months I have educated myself...

    I have an Osborne 3000 pellet stove. Recently the auger has been making a grinding noise. I removed the auger and cleaned everything. Reinstalled it and it is still happening. It isn’t constant, but rather it happens in short bursts every 40 seconds or so. When I was cleaning the space the...

    Could it be the Control Board? Inconsistencies in Pellet Feed on Englander 25PDVC-55SHP10

    Stove Auger has a “Reeling” Sound?

    Hi all. Anyone know what this might be? My 5 year old USSC 5660 pellet stove just started to have this “reeling” sound from the auger from time to time. I’m guessing this is when it’s dropping fuel down into the burn pot. Any suggestions on how to fix it?

    Auger only turns in test mode

    I have a 10 year old Harman Accentra FS pellet stove. Periodically it stops feeding pellets. Sometimes it starts up, sometimes not because the auger does not feed. When I turn it in test mode, it feeds fine and sometimes it solves the problem. Sometimes not. I never get any error lights...

    Hello, first time poster here. I bought an Enviro M55 3 years ago and it has overall been a great stove. I recently replaced the convection fan as the bearings were shot and made too much noise. Naturally now that the fan is quiet again the auger makes an awful squeal. I don't know where it...
