Looking for ideas.... Harman Accentra fs.

Getting occasional no feed of pellets caused by vac switch only when very cold as in near 0* and using OAK.

I disconnect OAK and there is no problem.

Thanks for any thoughts.
 
Is it windy? If so, is OAK inlet facing into the wind? Pos. pressure may make vac switch not work.

Not really windy. Have had many very windy days without any problem.
 
Make sure the inlet is clean & clear....no ice/snow as Justin mentioned above.
 
last couple of days have seen a good number of odd things like that...I chalk it up to the evil cold temps we're having. Run it without the OAK or leave it in stove temp for the time being would be my suggstion.

Thanks Delta-T, I was hoping you would chime in. Yes, OAK disconnected for now. Seeing as my son and I have had the flu over the past weekend, some air being pulled out of the house is probably not a bad thing, lol.
