Part Number for Burn Pot Gasket: PU-BPG
Part Number for the Igniter: PU-CHA
Ash and debris can cause your burn pot gasket to stain and eventually deteriorate. Regular cleaning and inspections of your Englander stove and burn pot gasket is the best way to ensure the safe and clean operation of your stove. Having an airtight gasket seal is very important for efficient stove performance and safety. To replace the burn pot gasket, first remove the burn pot by loosening the two bolts that are located under the ash lip, using a ½ socket or open-ended wrench.

This may be the best RUclips video I've ever seen!😊
I really appreciate the information. Englander's customer service is non-existent, and it's folks like you who keep us up and running.
Thank you for this. Please support this site by purchasing from them.
Just moved into a house with this stove. Excellent video. Thank you!
I learned so much from this video, thank you so much! If you have an Englander stove you should watch the whole thing, even if you aren't having problems. I found new places to clean I didn't know about!
Yes many thanks just moved into this cold house, no instructions on how to use the device, took an hour to find model number lol. But this has been very helpful as an engineer rest should be fun.
Excellent video. You helped me find my blockage of air flow.. I did replace the ignitor. Thanks again!
Thank you so much for your time man. You’ve taught me a valuable lesson. Great editing. Just know you’re a hero . Bless you
Glad I could help!
Thank you so much! This really helped us . Englander won't even answer their phone!
You sir are a widows best friend.. I have been fighting with my stove for weeks and Michigan is getting COLD
Thank you for this video. It was extremely helpful. I thought the rear auger was broken, but you told me what might be happening. Thanks so much!
Great video learned a lot. Thanks
This is super informative. It's awesome to see what could be troubleshooting our stove. Gonna try these out since ours is having a hard time lighting
Installed our pellet stove today wasn't igniting brand new. Dame burn pot was loose. Thank you!
Another thing that could help till you figure out what’s wrong is to wait till a small amount of pellets are in the burn pot, grab a single pellet (long to medium sized) and stick it in the igniter hole touching the igniter and hanging out. In the 10 years I’ve own this model of stove I’ve never had a problem with the igniter lighting my pellets except every once in a while but this is most likely to be a case where the pellets fall in a weird way into the burn pot. Probably the case of being too far away.
Anyways if this happens I always stick a pellet into the igniter hole and it always lights after this. Hope this helps some people.
Great information
Great informative video! Thanks you.
Thank you! Simple fix Tighten burn box!
You're a legend. Thank you!
Thank you my friend
Great video but why doesn't anyone do videos on the pre 2001 PDV-25's? The manufacturer doesn't even supply manuals for the earlier models either.
Bro you are good thank you
This was fantastic, thank you. I think I understand why my stove won't ignite now... my impingement plate isn't flush with the top of the burn box. Any ideas on how I can get it flush without breaking the welded "clips" on the burn box?
Have you ever vacuum out the channels behind and above back plate? I taped a piece of old garden hose in my ash vac and clean the top channels once a week! There a lot ash build up in them!
I am looking for next video after cleaning all front of stove, you say now turn around to back - to be continued. How do I get that video that you did?
We have an older Englander and the room blower won’t start up. The blower works when plugged in directly. What should I be checking or replacing.
I have the same unit but brand new. Keep getting E2 error code on start up. But when I add some pellets by hand in the pot before I start up it’s not a problem. I get a flame in 6 min vs 11 minutes. Waiting for support to call me back ..if they do. Any suggestions ?
You need to check and see if the bolts behind the burn pot are sticking out or not if they are you need to grind them off flat with the back of the stove and as far as it warping you can hammer it flat again
I have the same unit.
Originally It kicked out an e2 code and repressing start a second time and it was fine.
I replaced exhaust motor and a vacumme line .
Now I plug it in the board lights up and goes out.
I keep pushing start and it will not even start.
?????? any ideas.
How often should this be done
Silly question but did englander make any 25-pdvc stoves in 2003 that didnt have an igniter? My step daughter got a used one and swears there is no hole for the igniter to set the pellets on fire and they were told they had to light it manually. Also can you tell me how to factory reset the control board back to the factory settings? Thank you for your help
You know your stuff. I have the englander pellet stove 25-pdvc for three years now and after is shortly heats up a loud high pitched harmonic squeal comes and goes. It is affected and temporally quieted by increasing the blower fan settings. Ive also removed the rear cover panel and place a 1ft square fan blowing on the fan motor which really seems to help the noise go away. Please help. Im at my wits end after tons of research and replacing the combustion fan motor. Although I did just order a new OEM Blower PU-4C442 as my last ditch guess. Hopefully its just the bearings in there and the new one when it arrives and installed will solve my issue.
The igniter on these stoves are junk. I've been through many. They don't last. Make sure your seals are good and just light with a torch.
That was the conclusion I came to also. Even with new gasket, straight back plate on the burn pot, new OEM hot rod mounted at the manufacturer recommended distance back from the hole, it still only ever ignited once. Now I just torch it every time.
What makes a pellet stove not heat like it did 1 year before.
Can you do a breckwell pellet stove!?
Can you use fire caulk?
Having trouble with my stove again. I can't get my auger to move. It has a new motor. What am I doing wrong.
I just got mine and both augers were stuck. Probably when moving it on the dolly to get it in we might have jerked it too much. I just removed the motor and the loosened the 4 bolts holding the auger (both are the same..., you might need to wiggle the auger and see if it turns then while holding it in place, tighten the bolts in a crisscross pattern. Check it again if it's ok, reinstall the motor.
I have one that fires up and runs then dies, throws an e2 and e0 code. Cleaned it and put a new blower motor in. Still nothing
Thanks for the video . I have a1998 model 25 PDV manual light keeps throwing a E 2 code I have done what manual suggest did not help . It will burn in SU mode 15 - 20 min and shut down with E2 What are the reasons it woyld throw an E2 besides burn pot ? Thanks for your time
@@stovegrillpartsforless4637 Thanks for your quick response , My stove does not have any vacuum hoses { 1998 } Only wire i see runs from control board to back side of front casting { Single wire with brass connector.} Thanks for your time
Stove Parts For Less Thanks again... I was thinking there would have to be a jumper or something to tell controller circuit is complete .I found the location on my old board you mentioned it is labeled J2 Vac Sen . And has a black cap . Will check new board to see if i can locate. Your time is very much appreciated .
Hello once again . I checked the new board for the jumper for Vac sensor I seen a jumper J 11 to the right the tabs marked Vac sensor . So i checked for mode by pressing up and down buttons at sane time after plug unit in . It was in D mode i have been told the PDV 25 Setting is C & The PVDC 25 is D ? So i fired the stove in C Mode seemed better / Still ended with an E2 . Should i try a homemade jumper to try on the actual spade connection where it says Vac Sensor . Thanks for all of your help
@@stovegrillpartsforless4637 crossing my fingers this works tomorrow . Will update, Thanks so much
@@stovegrillpartsforless4637 Well bridged the Vac Sen . And set to C Mode. Now running same amount of time and shut down with No codes ... And unit still has green on after shut down. Also run diagnostic and all checked ok ? Back to square 1 ?
we just bought this stove , the stove will run for about 20 min. and then shut itself off. I can manually start it by starting fire in fire pot.
it is throwing an E2 error code. can you help ? Have spent hours on hold through the company and have never gotten ahold of a person. I'm about to throw it through a window !
@@stovegrillpartsforless4637 hi there my name is Bill and I have been trying to help a lot of people who have what they all say is this New Englander pdv 25 or a little different stove with the dual horizontal outputs from the heat exchanger box. But I keep getting a few people who are absolutely insistent that they have no vacuum switching of any kind and there's no ignitor for start-up and the only information that the controller is seeing is a single wire Temp sensor? They also have a few more buttons on there control and it has letter's from (ABCD) and the other 4series buttons are the normal number series to control the functions of the stove. Ok that aside I will have to do what we don't like to ever do because of the chasing the tail of something I can't properly do a diagnosis of the individual parts! Assuming!yuck I have that word.! Assuming the only information that the controller is seeing is the single wire Temp sensor and it is more than likely to be a bimetallic sensor and it is seeing this information in millivolts or ohm's the control panel needs to see a rising signal over a set Time to decide to keep feeding the lower Auger to get it going through the initial Start-up and then move to the next phase of feeding the fire box pellets and Air in a Timely manner to keep it Running. But without a vacuum switch to tell itself how's it is running either lean or to many pellets and running hot the feed auger has no idea what to do or adjust the top auger speed or the exhaust fan in a way to slow the burn down or speed up the vacuum\Air to increase our efficiency to lean out the fire or slow the air to give the augers enough time to add more pellets and make it run longer and a cooler fire to last longer. But I am having trouble with this working on the temperature sensor working data set streaming either a hotter or cooler fire? Do you have any idea how it works with a single sensor and what the letters do (ABCD) in conjunction with the normal numbers for adjustment to the controller? My New Englander is a old one but it only has the 3buttons under the ON-OFF and the first one under the on is the top Auger feed Speed. The middle button going from Left to Right is the important button that controls the exhaust fan speed to get the most out of the pellet combustion! But again if you don't have a couple of Data sets like a longer exhaust and the fan has to work harder to make a vacuum in the bottom of the fire box is clean and completely burns the materials to Ash. I would think that you would be changing all the speeds on it constantly with the stoves with no vacuum switching and the other sensors combined to be able to walk away from it and not have to be watching it like a baby to keep it 💯 Happy. But my third button on the bottom of the controller all the way to the Left is what a Temp sensor is good for is when to tell the heat exchanger blower fan to come on or off to build more heat in the chamber. Anyhow it's a little after four am and I'm going to bed and think about this stuff yesterday ha ha. But again thanks much for the sounding board and the help! Not to many of us old guys doing much of the older stuff to figure it out instead of just throwing it out there on the corner for the junk pile! Thanks again. Bill
Lots of dirt!
