Keep getting an auger jam error. Took out auger, cleaned out pellets and vacuumed out. I found the sensor eye, but was unable to loosen the screws holding it in place. I tried to blow any dust that might be on it. I blew out the vacuum hose that is on the drop tube.



The auger will start out moving clockwise and then changes direction and then indicates the error and shuts down.



Is the anything else I should check before ordering a new auger?



Thanks

I know it warns you that you will, but its too crazy to believe. Please someone tell me it's not so. If it is I will never have updated tables. About once a day I have to switch it from high/low or low/high to get it out of quiet mode.

I know it just can't be true, but I have this feeling....

BIH

it ticks constant on low and m/l.

It seems some other owners don't have the tick. I wonder Whats the difference?

Quad Mt vernon AE Any fix to this yet? Can't seem to get answer from my dealer. I am looking for a solution. Am I the only one?

Everything on that stove is built to burn at a certain temp range. Adding coal to increase temp doesn't sound like a good idea.

For one thing, if it burned down your house and the insurance company found out it had some coal in it they may not cover the loss.....Even if it wasnt the fault of the coal.

I know, shame on me. I have been running stove w/o the snap disk. I have not been running when I am not home. I finally ordered the snap disk. Going to try and fix the harness myself.

My dealer wants $28 for the disk and $45 for the harness.

Is there a source online that these can be bought? I googled the item numbers but didn't really find anything.

The conv blower is clean. I haven't had any hint that it has had any issues. Not discounting it just not sure.

I just wish I could figure out if it melted from a short or heat from the drop tube. I am going to be worried about running this thing when I'm not home until then.


Kap, I also need to replace the snap disc harness. Do you know what the item number is and the cost? I believe the item number for the disc is 230-1290.

how hard is it to pull the auger? I was getting auger jam errors after i got it started again. I tapped on the auger housing with a fair amount of sawdust falling down the droptube. haven't had anymore augers error since. just wondering if I had a fire in the drop tube.

bih

Are there enough amps going through those wires to melt the connections? I wondering instead if a fire in the drop tube would get hot enought to melt them.

BIH

Would a fire in the drop tube be hot enough to melt one of the connections?

Came home today and could smell something hot. Stove was not running but was still hot. There were pellet coals smoldering in the burnpot. Had multiple messages including snapdisk, comb blower jamb and conv blower jamb. Discovered that the resettable snap disk on the auger was burned up. One of the blue connections was melted.

I cut the ends off and bypassed the snapdisk. Stove starts right up now.

It doesn't look like there was a fire in the drop tube.

Any ideas would could have casued the wire to burn up?

Thanks

Is it ok to have a maintainer hooked up to the battery while it is also hooked up to the stove?

Thanks
BIH

I have one of those smart chargers that turn off when it has a full charge.

So Kap, in your experience it should have stayed at full charge longer?

Thanks
BIH

I just bought a new marine 75amp/hr battery. I put it on my new battery charger to make sure it was charged up.

When I first start operating the stove off this battery the wall control shows the battery with a full charge(13v). However it drops to(12v) within a minute or so.

Is this normal or should it show it at full charge longer?

Thanks!

I have issues at times with a clinker sticking and not falling. Seems like the pellet brand is the biggest cause. Seems like quad could make the pot desinged in a way that it would crush any clinker when it slides open. I have the idea penciled out, maybe I should send it to them. It would be an easy fix.

Exhaust cleaned just a couple of weeks ago. How about the temps? Normal range or something to worry about? Thanks Kap!
