i have the 3 manual damper right underneath the door. 2 small one on the both side with the bigger one in the middle
The big one in the middle is the damper. The two smaller ones on the sides are ash dumps and should be closed while running and only open when cleaning the stove.
i'll have to check to make sure when the hose melt, it didnt leak some plastic into the nipple
What metal nipple are you talking about on the vacuum switch?
Sorry I wasn't clearer the metal nipple on the stove that the hose melted on is the metal nipple I was talking about run a small piece of wire or the straw from a can of air down it to make sure it is not plugged.
Also my stove right now isn't burning that clean. the glass on the door will dark up after a night of burning too. so i'll have to keep wiping that down too. not sure if that will be a cause of the problem or not.
Unless stove is running around heat setting 5 the door glass will dark up easily over night almost all stoves behave that way. But it could mean you have a blockage.
Did you run a brush through your venting I have seen a bird get stuck in there how I don't know but it happen. Also I have seen where ash has harden and created a blockage in the vent. When you take the clean out cap off the T ash falls out but the blockage stays because it has hardened. If no brush try tapping on venting.
Next time you restart the stove light it close and latch door. Then open the door. Do you hear the exhaust fan ramp up for a second or two? That will let you know the exhaust fan is working to adjust vacuum.
Before you start it back up you could also run the Board test pay special attention to step one.

supply cord to the back of the unit. Press the on button
Step 1: Press and Hold down the A and B buttons at the bottom of the board until the display shows
an “0” and a “1”. This steps checks the Exhaust Blower and Vacuum Switch. Check to see if the
Blower is running and if the Red LED is on above the A button. Open the door and see if the LED

the right side of the hopper; the motor should stop. Close the lid to make sure that the motor comes
back on. If so Press the ON button.
Step 5: Display will show an “I” and “1”. This step checks the low temperature switch. It will
turn on the LED over the “A” if the low temperature switch is open which means it is at room temp.
If so have them Press the ON button. The “A” light will be off if the switch is closed and this tells you
it is hot.

the LED (Red light) over the A button is on. If so, Press the ON button to go to the next step.
Step 7 and 8 does not apply to your stove.
Step 7: Display will show a numerical value. This is the room temperature measured at the
thermistor attached to the exhaust housing. The displayed temperature should be close to the
room (ambient) temperature. NO temp reading (00) thermistor disconnected from the board
or bad board. Press the On button to go to the next step.
Step 8: Display will show the Frequency of the A/C input voltage. Display should show a 59, 60,
