stove goes off after initial lit up

[TJ7960]

Hi all,
I know this has been answered here but I forgot the answer. My pellet stove goes off after 15 minutes. It is a Whitfield Traditions 11. I have completely cleaned all fans and pipes. Thanks.

does your stove continue to feed pellets after 15 minutes or does it starve for fuel & then go out?
You may want to look at the auger motor or its control circuits.

You may want to put a 110 volt indicator across the auger motor terminals , after unplugging the stove so you dont get a shock, and then see if the auger motor stops recieving intermitant voltage pulses after 15 minutes.

a normal auger motor will recieve a voltage & opperate for about 10 seconds & then no voltage & no opperation for the next 10 seconds, then opperate for 10 seconds & be off for 10 seconds.

The seconds(off/on intervals) will vary from stove to stove and also vary with feed rate settings
but should always be present. If they stop, the auger wont feed pellets.
