Quadrofire Santa Fe no power!!

[Gt5228]

I have an 05 quadrofire Santa Fe. It was running good the other day when all the sudden the fan that blows out the hot air turned off. I then realize that the other fan wasn't working either... It still had power at this point but no matter what I did i couldn't get it running again. I tried checking the fuse on the power box, i reset the snap switch on the auger feed tube and on the bottom of the inside of the stove in the pic. Now, a few days later it doesent seem to have any power whatsoever, i know the plug is good, the breakers in my basement are all good, what is going on? Pic 2 is the controle box? That is beside the power box, could it be one of these?

is there a GFI outlet on the same circuit as the stove somewhere else in the house? Outlet shot? Check fuse inside the control box?

Did you check the terminals where your thermostat wires attach? If one of those is broken off or disconnected it will not let the stove power up. Another thing to check, making sure it is unplugged first, is to gently pull the control box out and reset it in, as some times they get bumped or separated enough to disconnect the electrical circuit to the stove. Or your control box could be cooked.

In the 2nd pic which is the controle box? The left or right? I did check fuse on the metallic box on the left. Is there another?

And the outlet deff works, I have something plugged into the same and I've even tried switching them and they both work

no call light...bad tstat connection, no power lights on the control board....no power through the unit.wiggle the control box in the wiring junction and give the stove a swift kick

I have reseted the controle box, and the thermostat wires look great...

Wouldn't kicking its ass void the WARRENTY?

but it makes you feel better and shows the stove whois boss.

I guess Scott is advocating for 'the BFF' - bigger f'in foot method...... Assuming the power cord isn't cut or cooked (possible, though unlikely), it seems more likely that it is your control box that's cooked. At 8 yrs + of age, probably near it's functional life span, depending on how many burn hours you have on it.

It was fortunate that when my 9 year old Quad control box gave up the ghost that my local dealer let me swap in a box from his floor demo model, that confirmed it was indeed a cooked control box.
