There can be several reasons. It would help me to know what make and model, but heres a start.....1} Make sure your using the correct fuse.2} Look for any debris or items which have entered the unit that could be shorting out the circuit. Also look for loose connections or wire spades that have come loose and shorted 3} Next see if the combustion and convection blower is turning freely. They should spin with ease. If in doubt, make a test cord from an old extension cord and try the blower directly by DISCONECTING it from the stove wiring and hooking the test cord to it then plug into a power strip carefully.4} Check the auger... Can you wiggle it around with your hand? If so then use the test cord in the same fashion as the blower. Augers tend to jam up and that can blow the fuse depending on the make of stove. 5} Look at the igniter and wire to assure that it is in visibly good condition. These are some good places to start. If none of these are help, it may be worth while to call a repair tech or manufacture help line. Be prepared for a long hold if you call during peak winter season. Good luck.

Harmon P43 pellet stove blows fuses instantly when plugged in?

Obviously there is a short somewhere in the unit. Unplug it, so you don't get a shock, and use an ammeter. Separate circuits if you can to find the shorted one.

I have an Englander 25-EP pellet stove. The 6 am 125 volt fuse on the control board keeps blowing as soon as the exhaust blower comes on.

Try a 10 amp fuse, or a straight wire. The straight wire will cause a wisp of smoke that will reveal the problem.

Kozi pellet stove wont lite keeps blowing fuse

If your Kozi pellet stove has an igniter (located in a steel tube under the fire pot), check to make sure the igniter isn't shorted out (dead short).

I recently purchased a used Kozi 100XL that had an igniter that was bad. I also found that, prior to me buying the stove, the old igniter had been twisted inside its steel tube under the fire pot bringing its two wires at the end of the igniter together. These touching wires likely were throwing circuit breakers for the previous owner of the stove but, by the time I bought the unit, this had resulted in a burned wire at the fan thermal switch where one of the igniter wires connects. After repairing the burned wire, I plugged the stove back in and a house circuit breaker was thrown. A new igniter repaired the problem.

BTW, Kozi has a better than excellent online customer service who will likely walk you through any problems with your stove. They did for me even though they knew my stove had been purchased used.

My fuse blows everytime i plug in my sirius radio to cigarette lighter...why?

is that the only device that is blowing a fuse? if it is the only thing blowing your fuse you may need to replace the charger. check the fuse to make sure it is the correct size ( usually 10 amp). check the power adapter to make sure there are no loose connections or anything in the plug that doesn't belong there. unplug the radio from the adapter and plug the adapter in without the radio see if the fuse blows . if it blows replace the adapter. if it doesn't blow the fuse check the adapter to make sure it is the right one make sure the polarity is correct

Harman P68 pellet stove glass fuse blows after 1 minute.

You can do some troubleshooting by looking at the glass fuse after it has failed. If the element looks melted and there is no other discoloration, then the fuse probably blew as a result of an overload somewhere. If the fuse is burned black, then it's probably a short in the system.

You can meter the motors to see if they are shorted anywhere or open.

It sounds like you may be correct about the circuit board.

Top auger is not working

This is usually caused by a jammed auger that has something caught between auger and chute, which in most cases blows a fuse, if fuses are good and the auger is not jammed then the next thing to do is check the limit switch in the hopper to make sure it is teeling the auger to turn on as there is product in the hopper to use. to test if you have voltage on the motor to run it either use a multimeter or if you do not have one take an old lamp and cut the plug off the end of the wire and making sure there is a good bulb in it attach the 2 wires that you cut the plug from on the two connections to the auger motor and see if the lamp lights, if it does the motor is most likely bad if it does not then there is a break in one of the wires going to the motor or a limit switch ois not being made or a fuse is blown. Hope This Helps Don

Gas stove stopped working

Hi . I would begin by pulling the stove out and making sure it is plugged in. If it is, unplug it and plug something else into the plug like a blow dryer to make sure you have power to that outlet. If there is no power, you have either blown a fuse or kicked a circuit breaker. Go to your electrical panel to replace the fuse or reset the circuit breaker. good luck.
