I have a Harman P61. The control panel was updated quite a few years ago to the newer style. The stove has been great for me until today. I came home and the fire was out. Main 6 Amp fuse was blown. Put in new fuse and it blew. Removed the auger motor connection and stove turned on, combustion motor ran and all looked good, so I replaced the auger motor with a new one. Plugged everything back in and the fuse blew. Checked all the wiring and no shorts or cuts I can see. Am I looking at a new control panel.

Try removing all the wires from the other components, and see if it blows a fuse. If no then plug one at a time in and that will point out the bad part. If it still pops with everything unplugged i would lean towards a bad board

OK. Just unplugged combustion motor, distribution motor and auger motor. Still popped. I have no ignitor. Wires are all in good shape and nothing touching. Any other ideas to check before a new board.

Thanks
