Since the pellet stash will be here in a coupla weeks & the P43 in the garage is my daughter's only source of heat in the studio above it, I figgered I'd get into it & clean & prep it for the impending season.
Towards the end of last season, she told me she thought there was something hinky with it, but with so much other crap high on the "Honey-Do" list, I blew it off...
Anyway, it WAS filthy & my normal 42 minute clean time probably lasted an hour. All cleaned, painted & ready to fire up. Ran it in test mode to get the burn pot primed & the board said "all systems go"...About 6 minutes into the cycle, the first telltale sparks flew out of the pot & I knew the Harman flame was imminent. She fired & all looked good. 10 minutes later, no distribution fan. Recleaned the ESP & gave it another shot. No D-Fan. Dang. I know I have another ESP around here somewhere...Don't I? Somewhere? Nope. Igniter- yes...ESP - no. Crap. Gotta make a run to the dealer & grab one (or two) & do the "low-crawl" to get back underneath it...Oh, well...Better to find it now than in February, huh?
