HIGH LIMIT SWITCH KEEPS TRIPPING
Possible Causes: Possible Remedies:
1. The convection blower is overheating and tripping the internal
temperature shutoff.
Clean any dust off of the windings and fan blades. If cleaning the
blower does not help, the blower may be bad.
2. The stove is being left on the highest setting for extended
periods of time.
The highest heat level setting is designed for use over short periods
of time. Burning the stove on the highest setting for longer than 1 –
2 hours could lead to potential overheating situations.
3. Fuel other than wood pellets is being burned in the stove.
Breckwell pellet stoves are designed and tested to use wood pellets.
While it is possible to burn a corn mixture (corn mixed in with wood
pellets) in the stove, it is not recommended to burn above the
number 3 heat level. Check for signs of fuel other than wood
pellets. If there are signs of corn being used, find out what mixed
was being used and what setting. No other types of fuel have been
approved for Breckwell pellet stoves. If there are signs of other
types of fuel being used, advise the consumer to stop using them
immediately.
4. Power surge or brown out situation.
A power surge, spike, or voltage drop could cause the high limit
switch to trip. Check to see if a surge protector is being used on the
stove. If not, recommend one to the consumer.
5. High limit switch is malfunctioning.
If the other items check out ok, replace the high limit switch.

SMOKE SMELL OR SOOT BUILD-UP
Because it is a wood-burning device, your Breckwell may emit a faint wood-burning odor. If this increases beyond normal, or if you notice
any soot build-up on walls or furniture, check your exhaust system carefully for leaks. All joints should be properly sealed. Also clean your
stove, following instructions in “MAINTENANCE”. If problem persists, contact your dealer.
