This has happened 3 times in the past 3 days. The fire starts up fine, goes for 12+ hours, then by the time I get home from work, the fire has gone out. The stove is a P68, second year of burning. First 2 times it was in room temp mode, feed rate 3, temp around 70. One time there was no error code, second time, 5 blinks which means igniter fails to light within a certain amount of time. Last night I put it on stove mode, auto, feed rate 4, the other dial 2.5. It was my understanding the fire is not supposed to go out. I got home from work, the house was 63, and there was no fire, but the fan was still running. I opened the hopper, it was 3/4 of the way full. I closed the hopper and the fan went off, no error code.
Yesterday, thinking maybe the stove was dirty, I did a full cleaning, including the leaf blower trick. I did not clean out the feeder body yesterday, but did today. There was a fair amount of fines there, but I doubt that's the problem. I vacuumed the fines out, put the stove on room temp 75, feed rate 4, and turned it on. It's burning fine, but like I said, it always is fine for quite awhile.
The stove is obviously still under warranty, and I will call the dealer assuming it does the same thing tomorrow, but anyone have ideas why this happened? On my way to take the dog to the groomer, so if anyone responds, it's not that I'm ignoring you. Thanks.
