Hi All, I picked-up one of these over the summer. Obviously well used (fire bricks warn down behind the burn pot). The hopper to my surprise was filled with a spare touch pad-type, the original analog controller, and a bunch of notes that the previous owner accumulated (so I guess they were having trouble with it). I checked the stove over and the only bad part so far was the combustion blower - I changed that out and fired it up. Seems to work OK but a couple of weird things that I couldn't find any info on:

The LED's for heat and blower constantly blink during operation---is this normal?
The auger speed doesn't change with selections 1-5. Stays on for about 3 secs and off for about 6 sec. Auger trim pot worked to vary time on but still the same output for all settings 1-5. Same thing for the convection blower--same speed for all 5 settings.

Any ideas?
