help: Fan speed Harman Accentra Insert 3 years old.

[Jared160]

Bought this stove and installed it myself before winter. My questions:
1. I can see the LED light brighten when i turn temp control up (high fan) but the fan doesn't seem to increase speeds. In fact I have never noticed and increase or decrease in fan speed.
2. I don't notice a lot hot air being pushed out of the grate
3. Do i need to worry about a draft meter?

thanks

Direct Vent
Hamers pellets

lots of black ash.

Black ash means you don't have enough air getting to your stove. Make sure the small gate where the oak connects can move freely.

In terms of the draft meter I would definitely pick one up. They can be had for under 50 bucks and are great for testing. I installed my self and used the draft meter to set my low draft settings and get a baseline.

The fan speed on the Harman is only for for the distribution fan and not the combustion fan. The distribution fan kicks on only once the stove gets hot enough.
