Boards Switches Sensors

We offer two different control/circuit boards for the VistaFlame line, the 50-178 and the 50-1477 with the thermostat slide switch. Be sure to read the model notes to ensure you are ordering the correct replacement control board for your model. We offer the decal faceplate for the VistaFlame control board if yours is cracked or no longer readable. Always be sure to have a surge protector in place to prevent surges or spikes from damaging the control board.

VistaFlame pellet stoves will have a low limit switch (some models have two), a high limit switch, and a vacuum pressure air switch which are all designed as safety features. The VF100 will have a 120 degree ceramic low limit ignition temp sensor. The low limit ceramic 120 degree fan temp sensor is for the VF Windsor and VF100 models. The high limit switch is a 200 degree manual reset snap disc. This switch is in line with the auger feed motor and will shut the auger motor down if it trips. Push button to reset the switch once it cools down. This GF55-011/EF-016 high limit is the correct replacement for the VF Windsor, VF100, VF100 Insert, VF170, and VF55 Models. There are two different styles for vacuum pressure switches depending on the VistaFlame model. The vacuum switch detects pressure inside the exhaust venting and firebox. If pressure is lost, it will trip and shut down power to the fuel feed auger.
