Quadra-Fire Mt Vernon AE Drop Tube Thermocouple, SRV7000-381

The QaudraFire Mt Vernon AE was an award-winning pellet stove in its day that has since been discontinued. The drop tube thermocouple is one of two thermocouples used on all AE units.

This thermocouple is used on the Mt Vernon AE pellet stove, Mt Vernon AE pellet insert, and the Edge 60 built-in fireplace. 

**NOTE- The Mt Vernon AE superseded the Original Model Mt Vernon which was discontinued in 2005. The older version of the Mt Vernon Stove (OM) parts collection is here.

1. The Mt Vernon AE uses two thermocouples, one which is mounted on the firepot and one that is mounted on the back of the pellet drop tube. The mother board must detect both of these circuits of an error message will display and the unit will not start-up.
2. IF UNIT LIGHTS AND GOES OUT DURING START-UP: SEE PAGE 16 (FIREPOT THERMOCOUPLE TROUBLE-SHOOTING)
3. Early versions of the motherboard for the AE units had known issues regarding the thermocouple connections on the PCB board where the pins of the thermocouples connect. If you have replaced the thermocouple and are still having problems, you are probably going to have to replace the motherboard/ control board. Over time, the solder connections at the thermocouple connection points will develop microscopic cracks in the solder, which can sometimes be remedied by heating and "re wetting" the solder points at the connections (skills and specialized tools are required) OR the pins at the solder connections will become separated from the PCB board altogether. These problems will require a new control board, part SRV7000-456
