I have a PS40 pellet stove that won't start. Immediately upon pressing the start switch, the ready light blinks red in two long blinks. There is no time for the ignitor to heat or auger to turn. After consulting the manual, a couple of possibilities are listed. To investigate these I did the following:
I made a small wire connector to temporarily bypass the over temperature snap switch. That didn't change anything. Still immediately upon pressing the start switch, the ready light blinks red in two long blinks.
I also temporarily bypassed the convection blower snap switch, and that didn't change anything either, but I did notice the blower is working.
The combustion blower is running too. I cleaned the inside thoroughly. I will clean the vent pipe tomorrow (too cold, dark, and windy outside rightnow).
I have read that a lot of people have trouble with the various switches, but since I bypassed them shouldn't it at least start working? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance.
