Pellet Stove problem ???

bigdog · 02-06-2020, 11:51 AM

Trying to trouble shoot Quadrafire Mt. Vernon OE. This stove is about 10+ years old and the 'original' edition model.

Stove starts and runs fine for 15 min, pellets were dropping as they should no issues, then stove just stopped for no reason ? The 'Convection' blower never came on, and is suppose to kick-on after 10 min of operation. 

FYI, the stove temperature is controlled by a wall-mounted thermostat.

FYI, I have replaced both Snap Disc #1 l(Convection Blower) and Snap Disc #2 (Thermostat Override). I have also checked the rubber hose to the 'vacuum' switch and it was clear, and air flowed through that OK.

Thermocouple and cover all look good, Cover is touching the Thermocouple,
as it should, and is positioned about 1" into the burn-pot.
 
In now have no clue of my next steps? Your suggestions are appreciated !!!!
Also, if any Forum members have any recommendations of businesses that repair pellet stoves,
please Post those suggestions.

Thanks !
