I have an Harman Advance and love it. The issue is I damaged the exhaust temp sensor while cleaning. I replaced it with the same black wire item and checked the dip switch setting supplied my Harman. Now the stove never goes into idle mode like it did before more like it would with a thermostat, on and off as need and does maintain a steady room temp. I did try the other dip switch setting and that wasn't even close. Like I said it does maintain an even room temp but I miss the idle mode and I'm sure I'll end up having to replace the igniter prematurely with the constant on off.
Any input greatly appreciated.

Here is another document. It almost sounds like you have the igniter switch in the up position

Exhaust temp sensor? Like the ESP probe or the room temp sensor? Big difference in the two
