I have a Harman Accentra which has been great all winter. All of a sudden kind of a wimpy flame that wont give any real heat. When pellets feed #4 setting; flame goes up and then wimps out. I clean this thing every week. Been using LG pellets with no issues. I've burned about one ton of pellets so far.
So today, I went outside and took off the dryer vent thingy at the end of the vent pipe and cleaned out some crud, not a lot, but enough that it may be an issue. Came back in and took out heat exchanger shields and used a paper clip on the burnpot to ensure no obstructions there. Scraped burn pot, cleaned underneath burn pot. Also removed bottom plate and some more crud near the fan and cleaned the tube going out side. Again, some lite stuff there, nothing too horrific. Vacumed the thing pretty clean. Gasket looks OK, Pellet glass door is closed nice and tight, front door looks OK too.
What am I missing?
