Can't get what on? And try googling how to's on some of this, that might show pics and video. And you shouldn't of had to even mess with the control board if that is what you are talking about. kap
Well, the tc I had in the stove went through the side of the stove with a long thin wrapped wire the ran all the way in the back of stove to the left side of the stove and attached onto the control board. I was able to disconnect the old one and installed the new one but was not able to clip into the control board. After installing the fire pot and igniter, I decided to put the old one back in. However, I once again was unable to got it on the two small posts on the control board, I did figure out how to get the stove to move though, four screws , two in front on each side and two in back on each side the actress actually tightened to the floor, didn't help me very much to gain East access to the control board however.
...and a you can imagine at this point, one of the posts finally broke off the control board so now I am really stuck, have a new guy coming out tomorrow to take a look, when I started the stove it goes right to the error screen saying bad tc fire pot. Everything else went in very easily, faulty thinking that if I replaced it all the parts would be new. Lesson to learn was if it ain't broke don't fix it! .... groan.... most likely I will not like the price that I will not have to pay to fix it or replace it or just get rid of it and try a gas insert, because I live in a condo I have to have permission to run gas lines so that may not be doable either. Sigh, moving to warmer weather for winter is sounding better and better!
Thank you again for all your help but you can't fix stupid and that what this turned out to be a lesson in! My guess is that the control board will be very pricy. I also realized that the fire pot was a mess actually but I didn't know it wouldn't come with a new bottom plate, that was where most of the build up was. The corn did a great job getting that cleaned up, (great tip for anyone burning pellets) while I had it apart I used a scraper and wire brush to really clean it off.
The good news is.... well there isn't any for me but anyone else having these troubles take heed! Kap really knows what he is talking about, no ignite is not tc problem, I am not sure I will get to know whether the low voltage igniter is better or not but it certainly appeared to be more sturdy at the wing nut connection area of wires than the others I had.
KAP, thank you so very much for all your patience and assistance trying to help me get this solved. You certainly know your stoves! Wish the very best in 2020! Now to crank up the electric heat! Ugh!
