Englands 25PDVC Bottom 3 buttons

[jjones139]

hey there i have englander 25 pdv. 8-1-08 is manf. date. what should the stock 3csettibgs be? i believe my problem with pellet pile up is this.

6-4-1. Make sure you're in D mode as well! Here's the instructions to verify your burn mode.. Unplug the power supply from the wall and plug it back in and within 4 - 5 seconds you need to press both the up-and-down blower buttons at the same time and in the window to the left you will see either A, B, C or D mode in the heat range digital display if you see anything other than D then use the up and down buttons to change it to the proper mode which is D.

I know this is a old post but my control panel took a surge and went out.So I got a new one for it mine was made in 8/2004 factory setting was 531now all new panel's are set at 641 and the say it burns better.I don't think so in 25 minutes I had black build on glass I couldn't even see through it called england stove and they told me to bump up LBA to a 9

I've had very good success with Englander CS. Follow their recommendation and it would not hurt to take pics or a video to send. I did this and they were able to see my issue via the video and make changes to the lower numbers. I'm thinking you're not burning anytime soon since it's been in the 80's the past 4 days..

 

[harley75]

Not anytime soon but I though I read somewhere not to set the LBA past 7

I've been told by Englander as well to try 9 and then work down. At the end of last season my PDVC was at 7 and burning quite well.

 

[harley75]

Ok well guess I'll start at 9 and work down

Do you have an outside air kit? Once you start on 9 wait 20-30 minutes and see what develops or doesn't on the glass. You know what to do thereafter.... Oh BTW... it was 41 here this morning!

 

[harley75]

I'll do that it was pretty chilly here also but was still 75 in the house but had to shut all windows seems a skunk left loose on a stray cat maybe tomorrow will be the morning I turn it on for a little

 

[harley75]

I have outside air hooked up

 

[harley75]

How often do you clean your glass off I have to do mine about every 3 days

Describe your symptoms.

Blackened glass fire flares up and almost goes out then flares up . I was just looking to get it back to what it was . What are the manufacturers settlings Seem to be working OK on 541 last night

 

[harley75]

541 works good for me some of the newer stove are set at 641which 6 is the feed and pellets will go down pretty quick leave it at 541 and run it that's good pellets seem to last longer in mine set at 541

ok pete , here is the scoop:

"low fuel feed" controls the cycle "on" time of the top auger when the unit is set on its lowest heat ranges "1 and 2" does not affect the unit when the unit is set higher than that. the higher the number the longer the on cycle (the more fuel it feeds)

"low burn air" controls the amount of combustion air pulled through the fire on (you guessed it ) heat ranges "1 and 2" higher the number the more air

"air on temp" this setting does affect the unit in all heat ranges, it determines all of the temperature related functions of the unit (ie. when to turn on the room fan, when to recognise "proof of fire" when to allow the unit to turn off as it cools down during shutdown or out of fuel) this setting should always be left on "1"

note to readers: IMPORTANT not every model or every year of build will use the same settings, i know (off the top of my head) what the settings should be for any unit we have ever produced using that control board , so dont set your unit like your buddies is unless the dates and model numbers match! ASK ME otherwise. if the settings on the unit are off in the wrong way they can seriously mess with burn times as well as how clean it burns

Hello, off the top of your head, what are the settings on Englander 25 PDVC /55-SHP10 manufacture date 08/09? Thanks.. also my flame seems a bit high, do you think closing the plate inside hopper a little will help? Or is it an air thing? Too much not enough air? Thanks again!

Quick question... the plate inside the hopper, do you have it all the way open? How long do you get out of a bag? Thats 2 questions i know! Thanks

Hey Guys, I know this has been beat to death for many years but I have a question about my 09 PDV. If thew lower button for convection fan speed is set at zero, What temp will the fan come on if at all? Just curious as my Enviro fan will come on at a certain temp. Thanks Guys.

Keep it.set on 1

 

[Charger66]

I know that but what I want to know is what temp if any will the convection fan come on??

 

[Ssyko]

Don’t han answer for that, not that I follow all the rules but never questioned thier reasoning. If you go up it could cause overtemp issues. Enviro n englander you cant compare one to the other 2 diff stoves and software/boards

 

[Charger66]

Mine is set at 1 and is running just fine. I was just curious if this stove had a default temp setting in the convection fan for it to turn on if for some reason the setting was set at zero. Thanks

 

[Ssyko]

the thermister is what tells the control board what the temp the stove is and the programming in the prom turns the fan on. the
air on temp button is used by esw when a customer calls in with a problem its for troubleshooting issues mainly. they can have you turn it up to troubleshoot the themister or high temp snap switch. other than that its a usless control that should always be set at 1 so you dont cook the stove or yourself.

Thank you, that is a very good explanation.

HI just want to say have trouble with my pvd for years 800 feet above sea level I found that air at 7. feed at 5 and 1 I got clean glass AND better heat and nice burn now
goes out at feed 4 no matter what I do so 5 is it plus burning soft wood pellets too ty so much for a great blog ! By the way the guys at englander told me never to tuch those setting's they not much help!

So, can anyone provide a good explanation of what the Low Fuel Feed, Low Burn Air, and Air on Temp buttons do? People talk about them on here all the time, but I've not yet seen an explanation of what those buttons are for, or how they affect the operation of the unit...
