Hi All, I have a 2 blink code on my Harman 52i which directs me to the vacuum switch. Let me tell you what I did first. I took some body parts off to give them a paint job. Primarily the hopper lid and cover. The gasket between the hopper and the cover looked good so I left it alone. The gasket between the hopper door (lid) and cover looked pretty ratty so I replaced it. That was my first mistake. The gasket would compress but still stiff enough where it would keep the front of the lid open. It was an aftermarket gasket for part number 1-00-375501. I didn't want to pay $157.00 for 20 feet of OEM gasket. I tested the stove while applying pressure to the lid and cover and still had a number 2 code. I tested the vacuum switch. It tests good I cleaned out the brass fitting where the hose connect and also the the trap door where the auger is. still flashing #2. Any advise on a good gasket replacement Or where I maybe leaking air would be appreciated. Thanks , Matt.

If you are sure you are moving are through the stove, and you suspect where the leak(s) are, you could try the smoke leak test. That is shown on utube ect. Basically you make something that is smoky, and then run the stove and hold the smoke next to the area's to test.
