Did a search on this and didn't really find much. I have been praising the P61A for awhile now, so I guess I was due for an issue, here goes...
Called my wife from work today to let her know I was on my way home and asked her to shut the stove off. I planned on cleaning it. This was around 1:30 PM. The stove kept feeding and running in the off position and finally at 4:30 the stove had not shut off and actually was still feeding and burning pellets. At this point I knew it was going to be getting colder and wasn't going to have the light to do the cleaning I wanted to, so I turned it back to stove temp and let it go.
I'm a bit concerned for 2 reasons. 1) if I let it run out of pellets to shut down then clean it will I have an issue restarting? 2) What could the problem be that only affects shutdown? All other functions of the stove, whether room or stove temp seem to be fine.
