I've been doing some experimenting with different types of pellets in my 2 month old Harman P35I.
I bought some Pennywise from Menards. I noticed when I was filling the hopper there was a lot of fines and dust. On the first bag, I got my first ever 6 status blink and the stove shut down. Opening the lid, moving the pellets around and cycling power on the stove and it comes back on and runs.
The 6 blink status continues to happen now, for about the past week. Sometimes it will run an hour before it shuts down, sometimes a day. I let the hopper empty, and throughly cleaned the firebox and hopper area.
I've went back to my orginal Pro-pellets (that I've never had the 6 blink problem with), but I continue to get the 6 blink.
I'm thinking maybe there is dust that is jamming up the feed auger? If I pull the feed motor off, can I pull out the auger and give the feed tube a good cleaning?
FYI. The flame has been low since this has been happening. Even with the feedrate and temperature turned all the way up.
Any other thoughts?
Also, I don't think this is a intake/exhuast/combustion air problem, because if the flame is low for a long period of time (with the stove cranked up like I mentioned) and I throw a handful of pellets in there and close the door the fire roars up like it used to.
