Quad Castile - thermocouple??

Now I have ignition fire but can't sustain burning/heating fire

And what is making the fire die,does the auger quit running?(lack of pellets) or combustion blower die?

 

It stops dropping fuel. No amber light & I did thermocouple replacement last
Night.. I really appreciate your input, they say us poolguys are a pain to deal -
I bought stove from a dealer that doesn't know his stove product line from a water balloon.. (don't know where I pulled "from a water balloon" out of but I think I'll keep using it )

Thanks bob

OK if the "call" light is not coming on,then auger is not being turned on.Way I see it only 2 things,contacts in thermostat(or wiring to thermostat),acting up,or control box acting up.You could unhook thermostat and put in a jumper wire for a test.Bedtime now,see ya tomorrow.

 

Check that the Thermocouple Red Wire is grounded properly or the Thermocouple will not function properly. See attached Quadrafire Tech Sheet.

 

I just popped on the above - since my lights are not agreeing speaking with my harness & switches.. I could have popped with an other vendor for 189$ but these guys will take a return on this product.
& the other guy in CT so that's another 6.35% tacked on..

I splurged on FedEx & hope to have this Friday.

The dealer wanted 360$ and me to pick it up & install...

You did try bypassing the thermostat(room thermostat)? Although it really sounds like the box is the problem,Hope you have it on a surge protector.

 

Kinda funny,between both stove forums,there are a whole bunch of Quads that have failed with strange problems in last few weeks.Anyway,will leave you link to the company that builds the controls.you could see if they repair them? Pantrol Telecom Solutions, UL Control Panels, Design, Manufacturing, Custom Engineering

 

Repair is a little south $ of new board...
this MF quad is driving me nuts

I pulled the control box cleaned a ton chit out.. switched to 4 from 6 (why not at this point)

I get great start up fire - now get proof of fire red light.. - I hear & see auger motor shaft engage, but now pellets stop drop when I get into past initial fire.

I'm fixing to pull the dang auger now... but it drops plenty for ignition fire.

What is the yellow in first picture? is it connected to auger motor?

 

Sure looks like a burned up auger motor capacitor

 

Yes it is -- by why dropping fuel at ignition sequence.. that is what has me scratching my coconut

Yea they can cause weird problems.They make a plug in kit for them.

 

The part number is srv230-1920,but if you cannot get one fast,here is the newer specifications,electronics places have them.

 

Cool - is could my auger be reversing between start up & heat fires, hence only start up pellets ... I swear next house natural gas!!!

Thanks for the electronic store top.,
This is my old dead shot auger motor... is there a play? For a capictor switcharoo ?

there was a complete kit,motor,harness and all,then later just the capacitor harness.You could crimp in your old cap to see if it works,but that might have been a problem with your other motor.Will leave some reading info. Wiring for feed motor on Quadrafire Castile Pellet Stove
