How old is the insert? If older, when was the last time gaskets were replaced? When was the last time all the internal smoke pathways and venting were cleaned? When was the ESP cleaned last? Does it have an OAK?
Have to start somewhere so the details are important...

OAK=Outside Air Kit
Stove is still on warranty?
Very possible that you missed something in the cleaning ... Were you careful when cleaning the ESP? I'm not great on Harmans ... I do recall seeing info that the fines box cover not properly seated can cause 6 blinks.
Hang on for the Harman folks...

Typically a vacuum issue shuts the auger feed down when the vacuum switch is not closed. The Harman stove has a vacuum in both the fire chamber and ash bin area. If the door gasket is failing the exhaust fan can't maintain a good vacuum and a failing fan or plugged vent can't provide enough flow the stove shuts down.

Well, you say you cleaned it but ya know what, at two tons burned it sure sounds like it needs cleaning. Two tons is my limit on cleaning everything, including brushing the vertical run out my chimney, horizontal run from front of the stove to the T ( P61 here on a hearth, so I have a T). Blower fins, ESP, Fines box, hatch under the burn pot. Burn pot holes. Check gaskets, make sure a pellet didn't get crunched into the cover gasket of the hopper. tap on the burn pot to shake down any ash built up on the igniter, as always that's just a routine thing on any Harman.
If you've owned the 35i for a while I'm sure you have seen the video on cleaning and performed all these tasks, but just in case, 7 minute video on a 35i: https://search.yahoo.com/yhs/search...n+video&ei=UTF-8&hspart=mozilla&hsimp=yhs-001
What exactly have you cleaned ?

I'll second that. After two tons my Accentra starts to complain and is only happy again after a deep cleaning including the entire vent. One time I tried just emptying the vent trap but that wasn't good enough. It takes me about 2 hours to do the full job and I can't cheat.

Check the 2 triangle shaped side plates. If one of them is not seated properly it will cause issues.
Thanks for responding I cleaned everything ran brush down from cap exhaust fan replaced docking gasket was kinda squished thought that was it it seemed ok after that but know blinking again was told it was a vacume issue tested vacume switch with meter seems ok. I sanded the esp when cleaning do you think that could of damaged it but that's no listed under trouble shooting for six blinks was gonna do door gasket but looks ok??? 250 lb paper weight

There are inner chambers to clean, behind the combustion blower to clean etc. All done ?
Yes I removed the back cover took out ash bin cleaned the tunnel up to combustion blower I ran it before I cleaned and was fine problem started after cleaning theirs a bolt on the left side that they test for vacume do you know anything about that
At the bottom of those plates do they sit on the outside or go on the inside of the bottom openings have you ever removed these bottom plates that are bolted in???

Yes, that is designed for use with a manometer to fine tune combustion blower speed.
