My Lopi (Heritage Bay) pellet stove won't restart via thermostat.
The stove is from 1998 and I have the service manual.
I actually have two of these stoves. The problem one is the freestanding one.
I do clean it regularly, and I replaced the igniter last year.
This year, I return to find that the stove has stalled - and the room is icy cold as a result.
And the red fault light is on and the fire pit is heaping with unburned pellets.
If I dump those pellets and restart, then the stove starts up fine.
Unfortunately, this problem is intermittent and becoming a bit more frequent lately.
I think that once the thermostat shuts the stove down when the room reaches temperature,
then something happens where there are perhaps too many pellets or not enough heat from the igniter or perhaps not enough air for the pellets to burn.
Then for whatever reason, it tries again and again until there is a fault.
I plan on going through the service manual step by step, but I would appreciate any short cuts.
Thanks,
