King KP130 Thermostat Jumper

[OHBandit]

Hello,

First time poster here and first year pellet stove owner. Picked up a used KP130 and installed in my basement. Have been running since late November 22 and doing great so far. The stove has a thermostat attached and I'm wanting to disconnect it and run manually. What I do not have is the jumper that is removed when the Tstat is connected to convert back to manual. Seems my board is a bit different than pictures of ones I see online. Any suggestions?

Without a picture of this different board hard to give exact advice. Best I can say is cut thermostat wire about 1 inch from control board and splice both wires together and tape. If like most boards the thermostat wires connect to board with spades, if so you could just take a small piece of wire add a female spade to each end and connect to the two thermostat spades on board.

OK thanks. The pic from the manual that I have shows the jumper connected to the 2 prongs that are in between the 2 spades that the T-stat connects to. So its safe to assume those prongs are just extensions of the T-stat spades for the factory jumper to be plugged onto. So just creating a small wire loop with female connectors plugged onto the T-sat spades does the same thing. Am I correct?

Correct.

This is what the original jumper looked like, I have not found a source for it.
