My stove is no longer feeding pellets, why?

The most common cause for pellets not feeding is due to lack of maintenance. Please visit the Use and Care and Troubleshooting sections of our website: www.pelprostoves.com to watch videos that can assist you.

My control board is not working, why?

There are several possible causes for the control board not to work. If the control board has no lights, after checking your power source, you’ll want to check the wires to ensure all the connections are tightly connected. It is recommended to have the stove on a surge protector in case of significant changes in power flow. Power outages or electrical surges common during storm events can cause the board to fail (short out).

Will my PelPro stove work if the power goes out?

PelPro stoves require 110V to operate so a combustion fan can run to remove the exhaust. Depending on ambient pressures in the home, some smoke can fill the fire box during a sudden loss of power causing the fan to turn off. In the event of a power outage, these stoves can be plugged to a steady state generator to continue operating.

Does my PelPro stove come with a thermostat?

The PP60 and PP130 pellet stoves come with a standard dial control that allows you to adjust and to maintain a desired temperature (comfort level). Older models of PelPro appliances have an Acutron control (Model III or IV), which has an optional thermostat that may be purchased as an accessory. If you have an Acutron II control (manufactured after 2003), then it is also equipped to have a thermostat added if there is a connection box labeled T-Stat Input on the control panel.

Why is there smoke coming into my room?

All PelPro appliances are designed with seals that are tight and designed to seal the door completely when it is shut. If smoke is coming into your room, it is most likely due to the venting and/or the ambient pressure in your home. You may want to check all the venting joints and confirm they have been sealed with high temperature silicone, especially the connection where the venting (chimney pipe) meets the unit. This can also sometimes occur if the appliance is not cool before loss of power or unplugging.

The fan is making a lot of noise, why?

The most often cause of noisy fans is from the impellers (fan blades) becoming dirty over time. See the Maintenance section of your owner’s manual or pelprostoves.com.

Do I need to run fresh air to the stove from outside?

An Outside Air Kit is recommended with every appliance; important to note that mobile homes require that an Outside Air Kit be installed. It is strongly recommended that local building codes always be verified prior to installation in all types of homes.

What is the warranty?
