My original post got buried so here's my new questions
So we have our dealer coming out this friday to move the room sensing probe off the stove...if it's actually attached. I say that because I realized that there's a 6 ft black wire with 2 connectors on one end and the red and black wires poking out of the other end of the insulated wire in the bag with the stove manual. Um...is this the room sensing probe NOT attached?!? Or is this just the bonus wire for attaching the thermostat? I'm thinking it's just the thermostat wire since I see no probe looking thing attached to it. (Is it obvious yet that I'm not an engineer or an electrician? Ha ha!). My husband and I initially thought it was just an extra wire...like how some products have extras just in case you lose a piece. We didn't stand guard over the installers so didn't think to ask or know to ask to keep the room sensing probe off the actual stove or "hey, why is there an extra wire?" We were too excited over our new "toy."
So to avoid having them come out again when we're ready to run the wires for a thermostat clear across the room through the crawlspace with the help of an electrician, would it make the stove nonfunctional to have both the room sensing probe AND the thermostat wire attached without it being attached to an actual t-stat? I suppose the electrician could figure out how to attach the T-stat wire but I don't assume anything.
