I unplug it and wait still blinks manual says esp temps? What exactly does that mean?
Any ideas?
 
Clean your ESP sensor? It could be bad, or just dirty...
 
First troubleshooting step is always to do a full clean. pipe and all. it resolves 98% of most problems.
 
I did do a complete cleaning ... It was when I plugged it in is when I got the blinks
 
Perhaps you damaged the ESP during cleaning the exhaust path.
 
Time for a new ESP.

Great..... Does this mean I can not fire it up?

As soon as you get a new probe it will fire up.

Ok, will it still start and run? Or the blinks will stop it from starting?

That would be my luck
It only blinks when I plug it in, was lucky I even caught it...
Looks like the furnace will be on back up duty tonight!

I am gonna run it for a few hrs see if anything happens ... If it will start ..lol
Thanks everyone for the assistance!
 
That's one thing about a good ol' wood stove. You can bounce a solid piece of oak off the back wall heaving it through the front door without worrying about all these flimsy sensors getting broken just because you're using it. The ESP sensor on my Harman PF100 furnace is as flimsy as it gets for something that can totally put you out of business.
 
Well its running with no blinks amazing how much better they run after cleaning ... That was after a month of intermittent use
Turned it up and back down seems to be normal .. will check again later
