When diagnosing a problem in a stove the following four areas of the stove must be
considered.
a) Electrical
b)
Mechanical
c)
Air Flow
d)
Fuel Flow
Electrical
There are 12 electrical components in a St. Croix Corn stove. See Figure 15 on Page 78.
1.
Digital Control board – Check fuses first
2.
Auger motor
3.
Versa Grate Motor (also called
a Moving Grate Motor
)
4.
Convection Fan (also called
a Room Fan
)
5.
Combustion Fan (also called
a Exhaust Fan
)
6.
Power cord
7.
Wiring Harness
8.
Wiring Terminal Block
The remaining electrical components make up the Safety Sensors to shut down the stove
when sensing a malfunction or to disable the Auger motor.
9.
Vacuum Switch (also called an
Air Switch
)
10.
High Limit Switch (also called an
Over-Temp Switch
)
11.
Proof of Fire Switch (also called the
Low Limit Switch
)
12.
Hopper Lid Switch.
Electrical Requirements:
The stove requires 120 volts AC voltage. Typical line voltage may vary plus or minus
5%. This means when testing the circuit before plugging the stove in you will see
voltages as low as 114 Volts. Test the circuit first before plugging the stove in. If you
have reason to believe the voltage is higher or lower than it should be, the Utility Co.
should be contacted to provide the proper voltage. The stove draws 3 Amps during
normal operation.
