Finding the right parts for your pellet stove can often be a daunting task if certain information is unavailable. Information such as the Make, Model and Serial Number of your Pellet Stove is crucial to a successful Pellet Stove repair. To Identify your stove you will be looking for a metal plate that is riveted to the back or side of the stove. In some cases, such as Whitfield pellet stoves the plate is inside the hopper lid. A Quadrafire pellet stove insert may have the plate on the side so you don’t have to pull the stove completely out of the fireplace. Sending a picture of your stove to the techs at A-1 Stoves.com is another way of making sure you are going to be ordering parts for the right stove. Once you have identified your stove it is a good idea to record that information in your manual.

DEFINITIONS

ASH
Ash is a natural product of burning wood. As the amount of ash in the wood increases, the amount of ash left behind after burning high-ash wood pellets will increase. High quality pellets will produce less ash and fewer clinkers than lower quality pellets.

CLINKER
Clinkers are solid, glassy or porous accumulations of incombustible matter that may result from burning some types of wood pellets. Clinkers are formed at the bottom of the burn grate and, if left undisturbed, will build up and cut off combustion air.  As clinkers grow, the fire becomes orange/brown and ‘lazy’. Pellets may build up in the burn grate, the firebox & window may become sooty, and exhaust gases may become smoky.

FINES
Fines are pieces of sawdust that were not properly formed or are the result of pellets breaking down during handling, transporting and storage.   Fines adversely affect the operation and heat production of pellet appliances, and they greatly increase the requirements for general cleaning and maintenance.    Fines cause pellets to feed more slowly, thus reducing the amount of heat produced at any given heat setting.

NOTE: It is much easier to remove fines from pellets before they are placed in the stove than it is to service your stove for a plugged hopper, jammed auger or plugged exhaust system. Pellets with excessive sawdust may be screened to remove most of the fines.     Pellet screeners may be built or purchased from most pellet stove dealers.

Solid fuel heating appliances have largely been ignored for over 30 years, along with for good reason. Traditionally solid energy heating ideas would mean log or coal stoves in addition to boilers. To many consumers both of these options mean a lot of mess in addition to a lot of work along with time. the uncomplicated facts are there was no real innovation in the solid energy heating market, therefore as consumers lifestyles got more hectic, they coal in addition to log heating systems were a serious issue. When oil and gas based systems entered the market, many consumers immediately saw the compensation in terms of a cleaner dwelling, less more along with more time to do supplementary things. Also oil in addition to gas based heating systems kept the property much warmer. Yet now by oil along with gas heating systems emitting high levels of carbon emission along with becoming more costly to run, consumers are looking for alternatives. Consumers do not wish to return to coal or logs, as well as no more than ever these ideas are not applicable to the modern behavior. Here is where wood pellet combustion solutions can provide a bridge between the two. Wood pellet burning solutions can provide affordable heat, by means of low maintaince while still providing more than enough warmth for a small property of even a large company.

There are various unlike grades of biomass incineration pellets, depending on the raw materials used to produce the pellets. For the top premium grade fuels, only precise type of pine, spruce plus oak residues are used, which contain little or now bark. Some pellets are formed exclusively of softwood or hardwood, while others are blends of the two. Lower grades of wood products from local operations can also be used for wood incineration pellets, on the other hand these will generally be regarded at Lower grade standard pellets. For example local wood land operations along with management generates a large volume of biomass chips. The chips could be processed locally in addition to then sold back into the community. This type of local energy loop is encouraged with many green fuel experts as it reduces the amount of raw material as well as pellet transport. It also has many economic payback developing local jobs, as well as keeping money local.

The type of wood pellet that can be burnt will depend on your chosen pellet stove heating system. Some units are very limited, where others are much more energy variable as well as can handle a wide range of wood fuel pellets by dissimilar ash contents. In generally a higher percentage of pellet boilers than pellet stoves can handle higher ash content fuels. Purchasing a more energy flexible unit means you can help support local pellet producers as well as also acquire much cheaper pellets. Making biomass pellets for pellet incineration answers, is not as straight forward as some people presume. Each material performs somewhat differently in the pellet mill, depending on material density, moisture content and other factors. Also not all pellet mills are equal, and some are much more suitable for making biomass pellets than others. For case in point most animal feed pellet mills lack the required power to produce a quality pellet energy.

Once you have identified your stove it is a good idea to record that information in your manual.
Don’t have your stove manual? No problem! We have pellet stove manuals here.
Do a Google search for A-1 Stoves or pelletstovepart.com and download the correct manual in Adobe PDF format.
If the manual you need is not available, a quick email from their Contact Us page will usually result in a quick response with a manual attached.
Most pellet stove manuals have instructions for doing simple repair tasks like installing a new auger motor or replacing the door gasket.
But, one of the greatest benefits found in manuals is a partial parts list of the most common used and replaced parts.
In the case of a Breckwell Auger Motor, the part number listed in the manual is “C-E-010″. Once you have your part number, type or paste it into A-1 Stoves dot com’s web site’s Search Field and get instant results. You can also type in your stove Make or Model such as “Whitfield Advantage” and get results for many common parts like fire backs, combustion blower motors, and even control panels.
One of the most commonly requested trouble shooting guides on our web site is “How To Tell If Your Auger Motor Is Bad”.
Here are a few symptoms of a bad auger motor:
* Motor on when stove is plugged in
* Motor remains off when switched ON
* Noisy-Grinding motor
* Motor running constantly
* Motor running erratically
* Fluid leaking from gear box
* Red light blinking to slow-fast
When replacing your auger motor, most stoves follow these simple steps:
* Step 1: Unplug stove. Remove rear access panel to expose the auger motor.
* Step 2: Remove set screw on the bracket.
* Step 3: Loosen set screw on lock collar (do not remove entirely). Gently slide motor backward and away from auger.
* Step 4: Install new motor. IMPORTANT: Make certain that the flat spot on the auger motor shaft (D) lines up with the set screw on the lock collar.
* Step 5: Reseat set screw on the bracket.
* Step 6: Reinstall rear access panel as shown in manual.
* Step 7: Plug in pellet stove.
Another common problem with pellet stoves is that the room air blower (also known as the convection fan) does not come on.
If your convection fan fails to start it does not necessarily mean that the fan itself is faulty.
The room fan is set up so that it only comes on when the stove temperature reaches around 120 degrees so that you are not blowing cold air into the room. This problem is a low cost quick and easy fix with the replacement of your low limit switch.
