Quadrafire Castile random shutdowns

It’s been replaced twice and adjusted multiple times.

 

Greeting Cash, nice stove you got there!

If not the vacuum switch: then would suspect an issue w/ the motor on the pellet auger.

* Runs for (x) minutes.. then stops, as it heats up. (If the auger motor is original, I'd be checking this while running, monitoring w/ an IR thermometer, if here.)

Jumpering the vacuum switch wires together, while running a fully attended test: would give you better info.

Hope the feedback helps.

 

Thank you for the feedback. I'll definitely try that if the vacuum switch doesn't fix it. I really appreciate the helpful advice from you. I also appreciate your help Russell!

So - I got the new vacuum switch and hose in the mail last night. I installed the new switch and hose before dawn this morning and let er’ rip. I’ve started and intentionally shut the stove down three times. Each time, it starts up and continues to run now. So far, no unwanted shut downs have occurred. It’s blazing as we speak. Seems like the vacuum switch and hose may have done the trick. It’s funny, even the owner’s manual doesn’t even suggest the vacuum switch as a cause for nuisance shut downs. Thanks for all of your help with this. You guys have been great. I believe it was slvrblkk that suggested the vacuum switch. This is why I am a part of this prestigious club. So much great advice and thoughtful opinions.

I’ll keep y’all updated if anything changes.

Thanks again!

 

That’s awesome. It was great for me as well to know more about the QuadraFire

 

Write some valuable notes in your manual for future references
Glad everything work out for you

 

Just proves that even the blind squirrel...

 

Is he related to the blind chicken that finds a kernal of corn occasionally?

 

Yes sir, we call the blind chicken Will, he can't find a kernel of corn, but if you send him out into the woods in any direction he always comes back with a 30 box of Blue Smoothies!!! I luv that little fukker!
