Hello Hearth friends!

So I've scoured the web, this forum, and Googled every variation of this question with no success. I'm trying to find the hopper switch so I can hold it down/bypass it to allow the test cycle to continue to work (feed) while I have the hopper door open.

Can anyone please help?

Thanks in advance!!!
 
Some Harmans have the switch and some don't. Yours may not have one. My 2015 P43 doesn't have one.

Ahh OK. Thanks for the reply. I assumed I had one because the auger stops as soon as I open the hopper door.

If you had a switch, you would be able to see it where the lid would push it down when closed. Your stove probably senses vacuum. Picture of the hopper switch on my P61a - that tall rectangular piece sticking up

Extremely helpful, thank you. I definitely don’t see a switch like that anywhere on or near the lid, so you must be right. Thanks again!
