placing a jumper across the pins. If the auger now cycles very quickly, test the dial-a-fire
potentiometer. If the auger did not cycle then replace the timing control module.
- To test the dial-a-fire potentiometer. The potentiometer should have a range of 68K to
approximately 850 K (± 10%), if the range is not close then replace the potentiometer.
7. The dial-a-fire has no effect on the fire
- Make sure all connections to the timer control module are secure.
- Perform a resistance test to the dial-a-fire potentiometer, by placing the two test leads
from a multimeter into the leads of the potentiometer. The potentiometer should have a
range of 68K to approximately 850 K (± 10%).
Potentiometer Readings:
Full counter-clockwise (switched off) = open circuit, overload or Infinite resistance
Low fire...................... 800 K to 900 K
High fire..................... 68 K to 82 K
If the range is not close or does not vary then replace the potentiometer.
8. The stove will not shut down
- Check the connections to the 140°F (60°C) temperature sensor, start-up switch and the
start-up timer against the wiring diagram.
- Check the 140°F (60°C) temperature sensor by removing one of the brown wires from
the sensor. The unit should shut down right away as long as the start button was not
pressed within 15 minutes of this test. If the stove shuts down within 15 minutes,
replace the 140°F (60°C) sensor. If the stove does not shut down within 15 minutes, test
the switch.
- To test the switch, the stove must be cold. Pull the plug, then plug the stove back in. If
the fails to start, Replace the switch.
9. The stove keeps going out
- If the stove goes out and leaves fresh un-burned pellets or cigarette-like ashes in the
burn pot liner, the fire is going out before the 140°F (60°C) temperature sensor shuts the
stove off.
- Check to see that the slider is in the correct position.
- Turn the Dial-a-Fire up slightly (poor quality pellets will require slightly higher
settings).
- If the stove goes out and there are partially burned pellets left in the burn pot liner, the
stove shuts down due to a lack of air, exhaust temperature or power failure.
- Adjust the slider damper.
- Check to see if the stove needs a more complete cleaning.
- Turn the Dial-a-Fire up slightly (poor quality pellets will require slightly higher
settings).
- Did the power go out?
- If the stove goes out and there are no pellets in the liner, the auger is stopping.
- See “The auger motor will not function normally” and “The exhaust blower will not
function normally.”
