Install Instructions:

3.) Once you have the switch in view disconnect the two spade connectors (Pay close attention to where these connectors attach to the switch).

4.) Disconnect the vacuum hose from the switch.

5.) Using a small screwdriver remove the two screws holding the switch in place.

6.) Install the new switch and attach it to the stove using the screws previously removed.

7.) Reconnect the vacuum hose to the switch.

8.) Reattach the spade connectors to the switch (The wires must attach to the same prongs, as they were installed on the previous switch.)

9.) Reinstall the rear or side panel.

10.) Plug in the unit.

Troubleshooting

Often when the unit stops feeding pellets, customers assume there is an issue with their auger. In reality, this issue is often the result of a vacuum pressure problem. If the vacuum switch is operating correctly, there will be a “V” symbol visible on the bottom of the main screen on the control panel when the exhaust fan is running.

To test the vacuum/pressure switch, disconnect the air hose from the body of the stove. With the other end still attached to the air switch, very gently create suction on the loose end of the hose (You may want to remove the hose entirely from the port on the stove and the air switch first to make sure it is clear). If you hear a click, the air switch is working (Be careful during this step. Creating too much negative pressure can damage the switch).

If the switch appears to be operating correctly but you are still receiving a vacuum-related error code make sure to check:

1.) All gaskets are in good condition.

2.) The main load door and ash door are closing correctly.

3.) There are no obstructions in the exhaust vent or combustion blower.

Fast service!!

I am so glad I found this place! A web search when my pellet stove began malfunctioning and just before the holiday season too... So the website is very user friendly, I am not exactly an adept at diagnosing and repairing pellet stoves, but I found the needed parts and the shipment was at my door at least a week ahead of what I expected! All part fit perfectly and the stove is running like new. I very highly recommend this place!
Thanks to everyone there!
