Harman p52i - feed motor won’t start/stove won’t shutdown

[wally1234]

I cleaned out my igniter (original with the stove) and vacuumed my feed motor panel (held by a wing nut screw)

I put my stove back and now....
1. Feed motor does not turn on.
2. When I turn the stove off it keeps running with the combustion blower LED lit.

There are no status codes, however the status light stays continually lit.

Can vacuuming inside my feed motor cause any issues could I have potential sucked up a small electronic piece?

Might be false call... I think it’s working now. I’ll update after testing.

the stove turned on just fine and the feed motor is working properly (I haven't tried turning it off yet, but will later). To save myself the embarrassment, I was going to lie and say it worked on it own but I decided to tell the truth lol. In order to help others who do no know enough about stoves including myself to learn about what I did and why it affected the stove.

I left my insert on the rails over night. In order to minimize the ash smell from the stoves exhaust vent, I placed a clear plastic over it. I forgot to remove it when I pushed the insert back, which lead to the feed motor not running properly and stove not shutting off. My questions are...

Obviously me leaving the stoves exhaust blocked was the issue but....

1. how does the stove know the exhaust was blocked? Did the ESP probe sense blockage?
2. If so, do any of you clean your ESP probe?

The vacuum switch controls the auger.With the blockage,vacuum could not be produced properly,to close,and keep closed the switch.On my stove,you can see the probe in the exhaust port,that I run a brush into.I do not remove and polish it like some do.

Please read the sticky, it will help you throughout your ownership. Your stove is a sophisticated piece of machinery. It has sensors that will determine if there is a problem, one being the ESP. As your manual states, you should gently clean your ESP with a wet towel etc. on a regular basis.
