Just bought a house in Edmonds wa which came w a Lopi m520, not 100%sure if it is the right model.

The primary air control on the top right is bent and stuck.

2) ppl to call for repair
3) or just junk it and buy new one?

Thanks in advance for your answer!

Before giving up on the stove it might be worth a try to straighten out the handle. I'd remove the spring then put a 3-4ft. ling 3/4" pipe over the handle as a lever and try to bend it back. If that doesn't help, remove the door and if necessary the baffle too, and see if there is access to the air intake mechanism there.
