All right pellet pros,
I installed a 25 PVDC in November and it's been preforming excellent until a couple weeks ago. Sorry I don't have pictures( I don't have a camera).
Anyway, I have the OAK and it is clear. I have the Dura-vent kit horizontal 1 foot out the wall then to the t and up the outside of the house 3 feet, elbow then 1 foot then the hood. I clean the stove every week by shop vac, scrape the ware plate, take out the big plate in the back of the fire box (sorry don't know what they call it),
vacuum out the hole that is behind that plate on the left. Brush all ash off the inside walls and vacuum that out and under the ware plate.
Ok, now, as of a couple weeks ago, it randomly shuts down with the burn pot full of unburnt pellets. Flame has never been lazy by the way. So I figure I need to do the LBT, so I did that yesterday and ran the little pellet stove brush up and down and in and out, got lots of ash out. I figured I had gotten it pretty good.
Fired it up last night running really good, I went to bed and this morning it was out again with the pot full again!
I should tell that I have a really small house (under 900 sq ft) and very well insulated, and only 1 floor. I only run it on 1 as anything else heats the house to 80! Way to hot for me!
The bottom buttons are on 3 5 1 and it's in mode D. And I've run 79 bags and have been running North Idaho Energy Pellets and some Prest-o-log pellets that are really full of ash.
Also I have not been here or up when it shuts down, only does it when I'm not around! So not sure if any of the E codes show up or not.
So what do you all think? What else should I be looking at?
Thanks in advance,
sage
