Need help...Harman P61a feed control is not working. Dumping in too many pellets and getting a dirty burn. Changed out ESP already. Control panel?

Posting in 2 different locations won't help you much. Stick with your original post.....

could be a control board thing, but I'd make sure to eliminate the possibility of some congestion somewhere's in the stove. Double check burnpot and the lil hatch under it, combustion blower and its fan blades, exhaust pipe, air intake flapper moving freely, leaky gasket somewhere.

Changed ESP you say? new one same as old one? original black wires- new one black wires?

How is the exhaust? Have you cleaned it, not just a looky-loo?

I cleaned everything out with a toothbrush and spent about 2 hours doing it. The ESP was replaced twice after Harman sent me the ESP with the bad connection beads.

if you used those stupid orange plastic tabs to splice the wires....take things things off and splice the wires old school style with some electrical tape or a wire nut, or a crimp fitting. Those tabs are the worst. You might just have a bad connection.

Has anybody taken a draft reading on the unit since install?

yeah, thats what I was getting at, could just be the #5 dip switchy, still leaning towards bad connection from those tabs, seen it a few times.
