Hello all,
I am Bryan and I live in Westminster, MD. Just recently I installed my first pellet stove, a Harman XXV. The install went pretty smooth and I even made my own hearth pad using some OSB, durarock and natural stones the wife and I picked out at a landscape supply. I have pics of most of the install on my iphone so as soon as I get a few minutes I'll update this post with the pics.
I do have one issue though. The combustion blower runs continuously after the first stove fire (as in all day if I allow it to, even though the stove has cooled down and not called for heat). If I unplug the stove then plug it back in, the combustion motor stays off. Another symptom is the glass seems to get dirty pretty quick as in so far I've burned three bags and (Nations Choice from TSC and Lignetics) had to clean the glass twice. Some research suggests the ES probe or the pcb (electronics) while Harman has suggested checking for a seal leak around the hopper or feed motor. Anyone else want to chime in?
Thanks for your help and I look forward to trying to help other here as I learn things myself.
Update on Combustion Fan issue - I'm starting to wonder if this hasn't been caused by the loose hopper knob. Ever since I've owned the stove, I've noticed the knob to be on the loose side and quickly becoming loose after a tightening. Yesterday I went to fill my hopper when the knob came off! I tried tightening it again and it just seems the screw is too short to keep it tight. So I replaced it with another screw I had laying around. This morning I woke up to a 6 Blink status....I suppose because my hopper was emtpy. We shall see......
