Is that like the ESP probe in a Harman?

Yes but bolted on the out side of the exhaust blower box instead of in the vent stream.

When US stove company bought Ashley Pellet stove out they change the board on the Ashley kp130 about 1 out of 10 stoves were programed wrong. They would not burn well and smoked heavily US stoves answer was to replace stove and just junked the bad ones. I bought 2 for "scrap" changed the control board sold them they are still running well. I just don't remember the thermistor being that short.

Interesting. It's good you were able to get some and keep them going. If it is a thermistor (which is like a Harman remote temperature probe) then it can be extended. It looks like they have used high temperature wire, but if you cut it before the plug it could be extended a bit.

I thought it was the hopper lid safety switch

I thought it was the hopper safety switch, whatever. Iy works.

How crucial is it to have a floor pad under the stove, we have old oak flooring, not great looking.

You need to have some type of non combustible material under the stove whether you buy a pad or build you own from tile/brick. Check your manual it will tell you the dimensions ie how far out on sides front and back.

I posted what I thought was your manual a few posts ago. It showed a microswitch wired to the auger circuit.

I found this mess , exh adapter looks like its glued on with something.
Should it be removed, I think maybe slit and peel it off.?
IS it supposed to be glued in place?

I pulled the back panel.

That’s pretty dangerous…the tailpipes on stoves I’ve seen have been around 1/4” thick, the appliance adapter slides over and is silicone sealed with a worm clamp/hose clamp

You’re on the right track, once you have that loose setup off and inspected you’ll know what to purchase for your exhaust.

Where is this water damage coming from. surface rust on the fan housing and corrosion on the manifold.
I plan to clean it up and set the manifold back with hi temp silicone flexible rather than rigid cement.
The exhaust fan runs run okso maybe the water intrusion is only on the externals of the fan housing, can't imagine how they managed it. Rain down the exhaust pipe?
Anyway, heres where its at. now.

Good stuff, looks like it was in a very humid area or like you said, possible rain getting in via the exhaust. There’s some good diagrams on this link, should be helpful.

I copied this from the manual link I posted back on page 1. I stuck the link here too.
"A certified 3-inch or 4-inch type “PL” pellet vent exhaust system must be used for installation and attached to the pipe connector provided on the back of the stove (use a 3-inch to 4-inch adapter for 4-inch pipe). The connection at the back of the stove must be sealed using Hi-Temp RTV."
I was looking at the pictures and video this morning and it didn't look like 4". Maybe you thought it was as they had that extra piece.
That corrosion could be from improper storage or humidity, or a really bad burn temperature.
We are getting close to a fire now.

You will want to remove that exhaust temp probe and clean it up. Also you can extend those wires if you want. If you do
you will do it at the plug end with extra wire with a very good connections. Might not be worth the effort now that you know
how to disconnect it.
