- Hello to all , I am a new member so hope this question hasn't been addressed already! We have a Harmon PC 45 pellet stove and it has worked great for the last year! Today I did a cleaning and after could not get the distribution blower to kick in! The stove would shut off and a 6 status light would come on! I did shove a shop vac hose into the stove pipe too clean it ! I wonder if in doing so it did some damage to the sensor in there? I did notice in cleaning it , seemed to be a lot of build up on the walls and moisture ! Our temperatures have been cold and maybe condensation is getting in! We have an outside air vent as well! Any help would be appreciated! Thanks!
Distribution blower not kicking in!

Right from your manual.....
A 6 blink status may be caused by several things:
1. Blocked or partially blocked flue.
2. Blocked or partially blocked inlet air.
a. Backdraft damper on the inlet pipe may be stuck closed.
b. If outside air is installed, the inlet cover may be blocked.
3. The air chamber under the burnpot may be filled with fines and small bits of ash.
4. The holes in the burnpot may be getting filled with ash or carbon buildup.
5. Combustion blower fan blades may need cleaned.

Thanks i will take it apart tomorrow and check those points!
I noticed the outside air vent has settings from 1 to 6 on it! is this the size of opening it creates and if so what size or number should it be on?
