Comfortbilt hp42 diagnostics mode vacuum help

[Whitenuckler]

I can't imagine the 2 nuts made that air tight? I cut a half inch pc of the vacuum hose, put that where the outside nut would go, put the nut in the inside and tightened her up good on the remaining threads. Seems to be a better seal than 2 nuts. Ahh, 7pm is pregame, 8pm first pitch(eastern time). On the verge of taking this back to Lowes and going to Frost and Flame(an actual pellet stove store as opposed to a box store).

The one good thing with problems is that you can learn how to trouble shoot the stove if you are a technical type. I have to record the game as the commercial time is terrible. I give it about an hour head start as I watch a movie.

Did you ever get this sorted?

I think in diagnostics mode, you have to set the test for the vac dot to darken, but in normal heat mode, I'm sure nothing was wrong with the vac sw. Hope you got this sorted out, but I don't think anything was wrong to begin with. I looked at manual too, they want you to initially do a maint style check out before actually running it. If all is installed correctly, I would have suggested going right to run normal heat mode, loading pellets and light if off, after all that is the ultimate check out anyway. Hope you got over the rough start and are enjoying your new stove.
