Being that I have't had any problems with my pellet stove since its installation 3 years ago, I guess I am one of the lucky ones. All good things must come to an end, and my great running Quadrafire has stopped running normally. I have unplugged the unit for 1 hour, then plugged it back in to AC current. I turn my thermostat up to 70 and the unit calls for pellets, it fills for about 45 seconds then begins to burn. It will continue to call for pellets right up until just after the convection blower licks in, then it stops feeding pellets and burns down to nothing and shuts off. Any ideas from the Pellet Gallery? I spoke with someone that told me that maybe my control unit toasted itself after a power spike/surge. I was plugged directly into wall outlet but just learned today that it should have been plugged into a surge protector. PLEASE help as it gets mighty cold without my pellet stove and we are forced back into using #2 heating oil furnace which we only ran at night because of our house layout (2 story). During the day, pellet stove keeps house nice and toasty but not at night on 2nd floor. I've cleaned the stove pipes and blowers almost to as clean as the day it was installed. If anyone out there has any recoemndations before I have to call in a repair person (that I can't afford now), please let me know ASAP! Many thanks for any & all suggestions.
