Hello, I have a Harman P38. It is used and about 6 to 8 years old. When I plug it in it blows the fuse every time. The blower and feeder knobs are turned completely off prior to plugging it in. Does anyone have any suggestions before I start taking it apart to see what the problem is. Also just wondering what size fuse it takes. I have been using a 6 amp as listed in the parts manual but I have read in other posts that it might be a 3amp? Any direction would be greatly appreciated. Great site.

Thanks for the reply. Everything is grounded properly. Aslo wondering if the push arm turns freely when the stove is off or does it only turn when the stove is on? Than again.
you may have a wire pinching onto metal and shorting out. start by disconnecting each motors wire one motor at a time, auger, distribution,combustion, to see if you can isolate a certain motor. of course u will need some extra fuses.
