Hello, I have read the FAQ about this subject, and I understand that many things I could do to try to troubleshoot the problem - testing the pressure switch, etc.
But I want to ask - I tried to start my Harman XXV, now 4 years old, for the season, and auger won't turn or even try to turn. (I tried it both by starting the stove, and by the test setting.) I can (slowly) turn the chain drive by hand, so I don't think it's bound up. The pressure tube to the pressure switch is in place, and the wiring is in place. I looked at the front door gasketing, and it may be a little bit flat - not sure if that's letting it leak. The top door gasketing, and the feed chamber gasket (up inside) look okay. The stove ran fine in the spring, so I didn't expect this problem now. Just wondering if after 4 years problems are common with these Harmans, and if there is a usual cause.
Thanks, Bill in Upstate NY
