Thanks for all the great information I have a P24I I just picked up used over the weekend.
I ran through and checked all the thermo sensors per the FAQ.
I am having a few issues with the unit, It seems the previous owner didn't keep it the cleanest and it was over heating and shutting down. I cleaned it fairly well today and its running better but it still wont run on MAX for more than an hour before it overheats. The lower heat exchanger tubes were easier to clean and scraped them off. The uppers seems to have a tarish like substance on that them it proving difficult to clean and be accessibility being the main problem.
I just want to be able to run the unit on HIGH for the 4-5hrs a day I am in the main room with out it shutting itself off. My theory is that tarish nasty gunk is insulating the heat tubes and causing them to hold more heat than designed and shutting itself down.
Granted I am using cheap pellets for now (home depot), need to get some better ones.
