Reset to factory. Still can't get feed levels to show. Just fired it up will let you know what happens. Running on 9 auger rotates about every 3 secs. Is there a way to switch this stove from pellets to corn? Thanx for help guys.

How high in the burn pot are the pellets suppose to be? On 9 seems like I'm running out of pellets.

The 6039 four button has no change from pellets to corn. You have to tweak the HR feed rates and the DF to burn good. What happens when you burn on HR2 or 3? Does the pot still go low on pellets after an hour of burning?
Are you burning corn or pellets? With corn in mine I have to set the DF lower than pellets also the feed rate is set lower.
Is the dash between the HR-9 blinking? If it is then the stove is waiting for a thermostat to ramp it up and down. If you run on HR-2 or 3 after a couple of minutes is the - (dash) still blinking? Go to HR-1 the dash should stop blinking after a couple of minutes, the ramp up to HR-3 and if it still blinks after several minutes you are missing the jumper on the board or something is wrong with the board. Maybe the jumper is just loose. Be careful touching the board, make sure you discharge any static in you body before touching it or it might fry the board and they ain't cheap.

The (-) dash doesn't blink. What do you mean tweak the HR feed rates? And I'm burning pellets. Seems to be putting out good heat now but have to run it on 8-9. Have the furnace in a small addition about 200 sq ft and blowing the heat out through a 3x7 opening with an 8 inch fan. The addition is insulated and only warms into the eighties when running on 8 or 9. Still seems like it feeding too slow. If I manually add pellets by holding the on button I can raise the output temp to over 220. How hot should the air be? I'm placing a thermometer in the center hole where the air comes out?

Just got to the feed settings Hi was 5.15, low was 2.00. Should set them to 6.00 high?

HR is Heat Range 1-9, DF is Draft Fan. HR feed rates are shown when you push the HR up and the AUX up button at the same time, that will show what you are burning PPH, pounds per hour on the highest HR-9 setting.
Pushing the HR down and AUX down at the same time shows the PPH on HR-1.
To change the highest or lowest feed rate (PPH) push up or down button on the AUX then push the ON button to set it at that feed rate.
Right now I'm running a mix of corn (60%) pellets (40%). My lowest setting HR-1 is set to 1.50 pph. My highest HR-9 is set at 5.00 pph.
DF setting is 230 on low, 260 on high. To change the DF (draft fan) push the Draft Fan up and AUX up at the same time, that will show you the highest DF setting, push the AUX up or down to change it and then push ON to set it. Same thing for the lowest setting DF down and AUX down and the AUX up or down to change it and then ON to set it.
I'm running right now on HR2, about 1.82 pph and the room fan on 9, I almost always run it on RF9 to strip more heat from the stove. The air coming out is about 180*.
You should be getting a lot more heat from your stove.
Keep notes on the DF and HR numbers and what you change so you can go back. If you run the room fan on Automatic it will only blow on the HR setting and heat will go out the exhaust instead of in the room.

I think you need to check the Draft Fan settings. Is the pipe real hot? That and the fact that you are running low on fuel in the pot might indicate it's blowing all the heat outside instead of into the room. I'd leave the HR feed rates alone for now, they aren't that out of whack to cause it not to heat better.

I'm surprised. Your HR and DF settings are pretty good, dash not blinking. Unless the board is trash I don't know where else to go. In five years I've only ran my stove on HR7 when it's -10 and howling outside. HR9 would be putting out over 400*.
If you set the stove at HR5, then wait 10 minutes, change it to HR7 the dash should blink for about 90 seconds per HR then go solid, does it do this?
Also check out the factory trouble shooting check that is in the sticky at the top of this forum. It tells you which buttons to push to automatically go through and trouble shoot the board and all the functions.

6039 tech manuals and other tips and tricks, at the top and then #14 will walk you through it.

The blinking dash does go out after awhile. Its doing better. For the cold air is there supposed to be a tube connecting the two pipes inside the stove? There is about a 10 inch gap between them just wondering? I'll know by morning if it works better. Its gonna get pretty cold tonight, in the low teens.
