Breckwell P2000i troubleshooting help

I finally got my stove and liner installed over the weekend and ran into an issue.

The stove drops pellets and lights up for about 10-15 minutes then shuts down and blinks #3. During this whole time, the convection fan does not turn on, but it will if I push the "High Fan" button.

I cleaned the stove really good before installing (including all the ash traps, etc) and I bypassed both the POF and high temp thermodisk and no change. There is 1 fuse blown that I need to replace (no stores had them yesterday).

I really hope it's not the control board.....any info?

The blown fuse could have something to do with it.

I got fuses today and I'll give it another try when I get home later.

The convection fan not coming on bothers me a bit, but I'm hoping that it will come on after the start-up period

 

[Owen1508]

The convection fan on that unit will kick on once the thermo disc reaches 110 degrees. and then during shutdown once it reaches 90 degrees

 

[chris0nllyn]

And if I bypass it making it NC all the time, shouldn't the convection fan come on when the stove does, or will it wait until after the start-up period and the On/Off light stops blinking?

thanks for the help!

If you bypass the switch the fan should run as soon as you turn the stove on. You can also try "hard wiring" the convection fan to see if it's the fan.

 

[chris0nllyn]

So, the fan must be multi-speed then? Because it comes on high when I push the button.

 

[chris0nllyn]

Ok, so I changed the fuses out and no change. Checked the t-state jumper and made sure the shunt was correct.

I'm getting fed up with this damned thing, and really don't want to buy a control board....

Update:

Going to build my own "controller". Should have it done for less than $200.

Will post again when I complete and test it. I'll also try and include a wiring diagram and part numbers for anyone else that wants to try.
