Issues with Wallas Stove

[The Kraken]

We own a 2011 Ranger 25SC with a Wallas Stove - we went out this weekend and we can't get the wallas stove to light.
I took the fuel line off the bottom of the pump and there appears to be fuel available. It goes through the startup cycle I can feel the pump clicking and then we keep getting the flashing red light of doom..

Does any have any solutions? Or experienced the same problem?

"The procedure best as I remember it. Turn on the stove and wait until it feaks out and all the lights start blinking. LEAVE THE SWITCH ON THE STOVE IN THE ON POSITION. Turn OFF the house battery switch for about 10 seconds. Then turn it back on. Then turn OFF the switch on the stove. Then turn it back on. It should fire up in a few minutes, assuming there is fuel in the tank and the house batteries have sufficient charge."

I used to have the Wallas on the C-Dory and really miss it. The 2017 R25SC came with a Kenyon useless stove. The stove on the C-Dory was wired directly to the battery so for the reset procedure I had to pull the fuse. On the RT it may be through the battery switch. It's important to follow the sequence and it may take a couple of tries.

Good luck

Try finding the fuse, I believe it is floating in a rubber housing near your house switch. Remove the fuse, wait about 5 seconds, Reintstall fuse, theN retry the start up cycle. If that doesn’t work, while in the off mode, try removing the wire plugged in under the unit, (a network style plug on a black bundled cord). The unit has A micro processor in the circuitry that is confused about the sequence of events that are occurring and needs to be reinitialized in proper sequence. Like a computer reboot from the good old days.

We love our Wallace stove! The only trick to using it is to only press (firmly) the ON button ONCE then wait. Be patient. If after 5 minutes pass and nothing happens press ON again. If you press ON more than once during the very slow start up sequence it sends the system into lock-up. Same for turning the stove OFF - just one press of the button.
Once we figured this process out, we haven't had a glitch in the past three years.

Make sure you have good voltage. The wallas hates it when there is a voltage drop.

I have a Wallus and love it. Sometimes they need to be taken apart and cleaned.

I also have a parts list as well.

The fact that you hear the clicking of the pump and see fuel at the pump is a good thing. Sometimes if they haven't been used in a while you'll need to turn them on, let them click until they stop, turn them off until all the lights turn off, turn them on again, and repeat. Sometimes they take a bit to prime the first run of the season.

They do need 12 volts, but as long as you have that it really shouldn't be an issue. You can disconnect the power/fuse/battery switch to reset them if needed. I've waited about 30 seconds to do that, but it is usually a low voltage condition that causes the need to do that.

The length of time that these run is amazing! I used mine last winter for 14 days straight with only about a fifth of a tank of diesel in the little tank it comes with.
