I cleaned my pellet stove this summer, all vents, motors and control panel. when I turn it on the exhaust and blower fan come on immediately. The stove drops pellets but will not ignite.
Replaced the temp switches, all 3. I figure their is no fire ignition because the blower and exhaust fan are coming on right away.
I have unplugged it... I have removed the fuse... Plugged it back in... And shut it off and let it run till it stopped... Still the same issueI have unplugged it... I have removed the fuse... Plugged it back in... And shut it off and let it run till it stopped... Still the same issue

There are a few possible causes for this issue with your pellet stove. One possibility is that there is an issue with the auger feeding the pellets into the burn pot. The auger could be clogged, or the timing of the auger may need to be adjusted. Another possibility is that there is an issue with the airflow in the stove, which is preventing the fire from maintaining a consistent flame. The air intake or exhaust vents could be blocked, or the blower fan could be malfunctioning. Additionally, the control board of the stove could be malfunctioning, causing the auger and blower to cycle on and off erratically. It may be best to consult with a professional technician to diagnose and fix the issue with your pellet stove.
Probably if it is sensing downdraft from outside.
King 2,200 Sq Ft EPA Certified Pellet Stove with 130 lb Hopper
The KP130 is a fully automated pellet stove with auto ignition and easy to use electronic controls. It comes with an exhaust blower for negative draft that pulls flue products through and out to completely eliminate smoke spillage, an automatic circulation blower to spread heat evenly and an optional fresh air intake that is sold separately. Its durable yet sleek design is built for years of high performance and to blend nicely with any room setting and designed to provide your home with the desired warmth even in the coldest of climates. The KP130 burns a carbon-neutral, green fuel, considered environmentally friendly. These fuels are clean, easy to handle, store, and are, otherwise, waste products from the timber and agricultural industries. Heating your home with this unit insures that you are doing your part to conserve our nation's primary energy resources. Pellet heaters work by using a software driven control board to precisely deliver a pre-determined amount of fuel from the hopper into a burn chamber. An electric heating element, used only in startup, heats the pellets until they ignite. The combustion blower forces air through the burn chamber and once ignited, it provides an active combustion of the pellets resulting in very little ash. The exhaust and heat pass through one side of air chambers where on the other side, the variable speed room blower gathers the heat and distributes this through the room. This entire process results in a very clean burning, efficient heating machine for your home.
What was the original problem and what motor was replaced? Draft? Auger? Or blower? Did you disconnect power while working on it?
The first thing to check is that it has power and that the thermostat is turned on/up.
Without knowing the brand/model# it is tough to give assistance but what I normally find on pellet stoves is a faulty control board. It may also have a fuse that is popped.
well im not sure why a pellet stove question is here in the pool section , but I do own a pellet stove (and a few pools too) SO I can offer one thing to look for , there is a small switch on the side of your burn chamber (soup can looking thing) this switch is what controls your fan to come on . it works by sensing heat from burn chamber and then turning power on to fan , its possible this isn't passing any power on yours ?
Check the door gasket material. If it's worn, it's allowing air from the room to be pulled in and has fooled the exhaust motor into thinking it needs to run more. Or the fan ON/Off sensor has failed.
Ok so I bought a L 73 model two years ago and today I had fuel delivered in prep for the winter. When I turned the Toyo on it waited about 5 minutes before giving me an EE 08 error message. The manual showed blower motor trouble and I was bummed so I called a friend. He gave me the following information he learned from a Toyo dealer as a "temp" fix until a more thorough cleaning can take place. Apparently stuff (crusties, ash and burnt debris) have a tendency to build up around the blower motor fan which causes it to get stuck. This is not the large visible fan on the back, but the smaller internal one. There is a rubberized hose leading to the larger fan and a smaller flexible stainless exhaust next to it, which is the one I was told to remove. Once you remove the flexible exhaust get a flashlight and look into the back and you'll see the fan (or only about the 1/3 of it which is visible). Take a pencil eraser and gently remove the build up between the exhaust slats. I also used my craftsman shop vac which fit nicely right over the hole to remove the debris. Once you have all the soot, crusties and stuff removed the fan should be spinning at warp speed when you remove the shop vac. This took my literally about 10 minutes to disconnect, clean and reconnect. About 8-10 minutes later the unit was working great! Hope this helps anyone having similar problems.
Hi lovinthepine:
1st. clean the unit, inside and out! Clean fire bowl/pot, it'll have small'ish holes for air and a larger one for the igniter. Clean out all holes in fire pot! Make sure fiberglass gasket material between firepot and firebox floor is in tacked and not leaking. make sure ash pan door is closed tight. Clean finned heat-ex's, this requires pulling out the two heat exchanger cover plates inside the firebox., next pull the right side panel and remove neg pressure blower & clean. These can get cloged up with ash and half burnt pellets. Tall flames & black smoke mean the unit is out of adjustment. Try closing up the pellet feed plate some, it's located in the pellet hopper area. Adjust opening smaller and wait 15 min, takes that long for change. If that doesn't get it, try opening the positive pressure blower's restrictor plate some. Remove left cover panel & find semi funneled blower cover plate, loosen screw and slide plate sideways +/- 0.25". If that doesn't do it, make sure all blowers are coming on, check for exhaust blockage in stove output/Flue sys. I hope that help ya, good luck!

The buzzing is possibly your exhaust/combustion blower. This blower is the fan sound you hear as the stove starts up. If you ARE hearing a NORMAL fan sound, then the buzzing could be the auger motor. Do you have a Foxfire with an igniter? This tells me the series of model you have and what control system it uses.
