harman P61A distribution blower won't run in room temp mode

Anyone know why my distribution blower will run in stove temp mode but not room temp mode in Auto. I rarely use room temp mode, almost always stove temp. It worked fine in room temp in the past, however, switched to room temp from stove temp for the first time this year, and the dist blower shut off. no dist blower light either in room temp mode. feed still runs. Temp setting #4-70 deg.

thanks.

Sounds like a board issue. I do not get into replacing parts on a board but I would look in this direction.

that's what I was afraid of. Every other mode works fine, hopefully it stays that way!

Found 100k Pots on ebay in another thread, may have to try this. Looks like the room temp side of my POT could be bad? Also in stove temp it doesn't seem like the blower gets to max RPM, and the blower only has a couple of months use, essentially new. Maybe this is a sign of dead spots in the POT. I think the local radio shack would be able to replace the pots fairly easily for me. I don't want to have a complete failure when it gets really cold!

manual says you have to set the room temp mode to higher than 4 or 5 i believe to run the blower...

huh?

If you are looking at settings 1 through 7 to set your stove, you are looking at STOVE temp. Room temp is settings 50 through 90.

If you run in stove temp/manual operation, the distribution blower will not run unless the stove temp is set at above 4. Stove temp/auto operation the dist fan will always run and the stove will not shut down until you run out of pellets.

Edit: you also need to make sure your dist blower setting is correct on either stove or room

Look at you Melissa...giving out the Harman advice...you go girl!

yep- in another few days, she'll be throwing in snide comments about "read your manual", "clean your stove", and "its spelled hArmAn!"

she's a quick study

I'm fairly certain she's passed the initiation test here.....

I agree but did she put in her own OAK? I missed the end of that thread lol.

I don't believe so. I think she's waiting until next spring.

Does it count if i just think it? Or is this similar to: If you don't see a picture, it didn't happen?

oh, no, Melissa.....thats what separates the men from the boys here....(or the girls from the women!)....you have to vociferously state what is on your mind, regardless of the feelings of the offending party....pointing out the error(s) of his/her ways, such that they may have a better pellet buring experience....so....no, you cant just "think it"....state it, loudly.....
