[AH6039pls]

Hi everyone, Am. Harvest 6039 stove... I bought house 2 years ago, liked stove, guy who sold house said it needs something but didn't know what. Just getting to trying to fix it. auger spins, no heat. little help, where to start? control panel lights up and pellets start dropping etc. Nothing catching fire. Thanks in advance.

I would light the stove manually and see if runs normally.

how long are you letting it run? Agree with above toss a hand full of pellets in and light them with a torch, shut the door and turn the power on. Sounds like ignitor may be shot but lighting by hand will tell you if anything else is wrong

Apparently this model has no igniter. So I will start with a good cleaning then manually light this baby. Thanks

6039 does not have a igniter, you have to use starting gel or propane torch to start fire. If it has a igniter it was either added or it is not a 6039. Does your stove have ABC control or 4 Button controler. 4 button and 3 button manuals below.

well that would explain it..LOL

where to start?

First read the Manual that applies to your stove, then read FirePotPete's cleaning thread.

“H”.
This should read 59, 60, or 61H. Press the ON button to move to the next step.
