Hello all,
New here and looking for some advice.
I have an old Harman Advance that came with a house I bought in 2019. The stove works great when it works, but every winter something new needs to be replaced. I've had the auger motor replaced, the exhaust fans replaced. I have replaced just about everything except for the chain and sprockets.
Recently, the chain has been falling off the sprockets. The teeth are warn as it appears to be the original. When it stops feeding I take the back panel off and put the chain back on. Easy enough.
Now, it seems that the motor has failed. It turns on and makes sound but does not turn. I replaced the motor within the last year or two, could it have failed already?
I attached a short video for reference.
My stove guys quoted me about $600 for new chain and sprocket replacement (w/ labor) the motor would probably be an additional $200+ w/ labor.
I've put in over $2000 in 3 years to keep this stove working and I'm at the point to sell it for parts on Craigslist.
Should I get a new stove or keep fixing this thing?
Thank you in advance for any help!
