Austraflamm Integra FS start up issues

[acarlsen]

I have an Austraflamm Integra FS pellet stove from 1992. It has always run great up until this season. Upon startup, nothing would work and the red light was blinking rapidly. I noticed there was some power going to the auger as it seemed like it was attempting to turn. I replaced the auger but the same issue appeared with the red light blinking and nothing running. I then changed out both the low and high limit switches. The stove actually fired up and ran great for 2 weeks. I gave it a thorough cleaning and went to re-start it when the blinking red light of death appeared and now nothing works again. Any suggestion?

Have you tried the leaf blower trick, that cleans better than anybody can manually. Has the stove been plugged into a surge protector? Hopper lid switch checked? Vacuum switch checked?

I'm not sure I'm understanding your problem. I'm not sure which red light you're referring to.
Does your unit have a control panel like that shown below?
Maybe you could provide a photo or video of the flashing light?

The control panel on a Free Standing stove from 1992 only has an on/off switch and a dial to control the pellet feed. When the auger operated the red light flashes

There isn't a lid switch on the original models. It has always been plugged into a surge protector. I gone through the manual multiple times and there does not appear to be a vacuum switch either.

Well it is an oldie like me. Not a lot of info out there for that stove. Id have to ck every circuit on the board just to see if it was cooked or just aged. Components on the board do age and get unstable. Caps will dome, resisters need to be checked individually, along with the pot/ knob

One of the issues I've run into with a post 2006 integra insert is loose wiring connections. especially air sensor wiring. 4wire harness connections. dont know if your stove has this. Never pull the wiring connector off the air sensor by the wires. the wires in the connector were "tinned" at the factory and can get brittle with age. possibly snap right off at the connection.
