Notes

Pellet stoves have several moving parts that wear with heat and ash exposure. Repairs are often worthwhile for igniters, blowers, or auger motors when the firebox and heat exchanger are still sound.

Replace is more likely the right call if the stove shows heavy corrosion, persistent smoke/airflow issues despite maintenance, or repeated control-board problems that indicate broader electrical or sensor failures.
