    Harman Vacuum Issue

    Hello All, I have a Harman P61-2 pellet stove and I am having a vacuum issue. The auger wouldn't start until I bypassed the vacuum switch. This has led me to be sure it is a vacuum issue that won't allow my stove to feed. I have cleaned the stove recently, and even did another clean when this...

    Slow Auger Feed on Harman P43

    Hi All -- long time no post. I've had my Harman P43 since Winter 2014/1015 with no problems. I currently cannot use the pellet stove because the stove is feeding pellets very slowly. The stove starts normally, it starts filling at a normal speed, then suddenly starts feeding very slowly. It...

    New Harman Accentra 52i not burning well

    So I have a brand new stove that I have run about a ton of pellets through, adjusting the output level to get a good burn. I did the first "heavy cleaning" the other day and it hasn't run well since. It began having dark smoke both in the stove and from the exhaust as well as not completely...

    PF100 Feed Light Won't Come On Or Feed

    I purchased a house with a PF100 in it. It took a while for me to understand how to work the furnace - it did not have a wall thermostat. We started using it in service mode and manually lighting it. This worked but not everytime. Shortly after I tried automatic light, and that worked much...

    I'm thinking about buying a used Harman XXV

    Hi, I recently found a Harman XXV on Craigslist and I've been thinking of replacing my wood stove. My question is if the stove is worth it. It's been through 8 seasons and looks like it's been very well maintained. It looks almost brand new. The owner has only done routine maintenance and it...

    Harman Control Board Question

    I have a Harman P61-2 according to my Data plate on the stove but I was told that it is a P61A-2 because it was upgraded to the auto igniter (came with the house so... OK). Knobs on the control board went south so I bought a new on with the help from the guy at the store. The manual calls for...

    So why is Harman the only Manufacturer with a bottom feed design?

    So I'm curious. I am pretty new to pellet stoves in the last year, and I hear the Harman vs. everybody else arguments, Harman is the best, blah blah blah. Now it may very well be that Harmans are the best, and they seem well built and the design of the bottom feed is interesting, vs dropping the...

    2016 Harman P68 Question. Are they updating the unit?

    Hi everyone, I have been reading this forum over the past 6 months but I am finally posting. I was going to buy a Harman P68 over this past summer but I was able to lock in propane for $1.59/gallon. So, it allowed me to save some cash and now install over the summer. In speaking to the Harman...

    New Auger, new feed motor, still no feed on Harman insert

    I have a 10 year old Harman Insert that has given me no issues for 10 years. Recently, I've had a lot of hard buildup in the burn pot so I was scraping it every day. One day, I came home from work and the stove was out, with plenty of pellets in the hopper. I cleaned it all out, figuring...

    Question about Auger Replacement Harman Accentra Insert

    I am replacing the auger on my 10 year old Accentra Insert. When I removed the old one, there was what appears to be a rubber gasket between the Bearings Flange and the receiving spot on the stove. I can't find any mention of this part in my manual or on this forum. When I removed it, a...

    Repair or Replace? With what?

    Here is the issue. I have a Whitfield Advantage II insert. It is nearly 25 years old and has run without fail, year in and year out. I have never had to do anything to it except clean it, and once when my son was about 4 (he is 22 now), put his hot wheels car in the pellets, I had to unplug...

    Harman P68 - 4 RPM or 6 RPM Feed Motor - Which is better?

    Hello I have worked on older 4s and newer 6s installed in P68s but what is the difference? Does the 6 RPM put out more heat? Four of the Dip switches on the Circuit Board sets the feed motor for the correct charge of pellets to the burn pot at startup and other differences but is there any...

    Harman P35i Alleged Igniter Problem

    We were having an intermittent problem with our pellets not igniting and just piling up and overflowing and had the guy who did our installation come out. He said it was the igniter and that the Harman igniters often go out after just a couple of years. However, we have had no problems on that...
