Howdy! I'm having an issue with my Invincible RS - it won't shutdown even in the "OFF" position (and it keeps feeding pellets), it also has the status light doing 3 blinks. After unplugging it, the stove starts right back as soon as I plug it in and the auger occasionally feeds pellets.

I have read that the 3 blinks indicated ESP problems so I removed the panels and cleaned the probe as best I could from outside )the screw holding it seems to be rusted in place very tightly). Unfortunately this hasn't fixed the problem.

Should I get a new probe? Is it normal that the stove turns on right as I plug it in the wall?
