My P43 (5 winters, two tons per winter) has had zero problems, but after taking it apart this summer and putting it back after changing the floor in the living room, I am having the following occur:

2 blinks (pressure switch?)
auger does not turn, no ignition
when I turn dial to off blower stays on, I have to unplug to turn off stove
Hopper lid seems fine
Door seal seems ok

What should I be checking?
EDIT: Problem solved, The combustion intake cover was not on

Is that the igniter cavity cover, or down below where the combustion blower is. I am gearing up for a full cleaning plus the piping myself. Going to try and remove the exhaust blower fan to replace with my spare. It would not come off last year.

It was the cover down by the combustion blower. I took it off to clean fan and exhaust and did not put back on.

I wish that the fines area was easier to get at. I used to take the back cover off and reach up from below. Now I move the control card out of the way. It's tricky to get it on the proper way too.
