I have searched google and this forum and cannot find the answer to this question.
I just got a P61 it is a year 2000. It runs totally fine once it gets going but does have some weird quirks.
First of all it does not like to light. I fill the burn pot, put the stove into stove temp mode and then light the pellets with the gel stuff. At first only the combustion blower comes on, I think both motors should be on but whatever.
Then after like 3 minutes the exhaust blower goes into an extremely low speed, almost like it is off, but its still on just barely, also the combustion light remains on. I wait like 15 minutes but the feed never comes on, neither does the convection. I am quite certain the temp at the exhaust is at least 165 by now.
Anyway I need to put the stove into test mode to get everything going. After 2 minutes of test mode I can put the feeder back on #3 and leave in stove temp mode and everything runs totally fine.
The status light always stays on. No blinking just a solid light.
The stove is in new condition. New door gasket, very clean everywhere, the draft in the stove is great, and everything has been vacuumed out, no ashes anywhere.
Is this a control board problem? Maybe an ESP problem? Like i said the stove runs perfect. The temp settings work well once I get the stove running. The only problems are a solid status light that never shuts off. And I need to put the stove into test mode to start it, after a minute everything is totally fine and running in normal mode.
