clearly you have your mind made up that you won't accept suggestions or advice so my advice to you is to do exactly what you said. Go get the Harman and put the Quad on craigslist. Good luck.
Excuse me. I've been told the same wrote advise numerous times.
I've done that, and I did that before I asked the question. --- I know the trend is to post first, search later. I had already searched when I posted the question. I knew before hand it usually a snap disk or a cleaning problem. My question was answered by saying the voltage should be 110.
So -- we've determined mine isn't. SO I've got to ask...now what. I don't want to simply start throwing expensive and difficult to find parts at the problem. The part my dealer recommended is $169 and is on back order from the factory. That would be the feed motor. But that is assuming 11volt is what it takes to turn that motor. Why am I getting 11 volts?
Is there an easy check (besides lamp cords to the motor) and is there anything else (besides the things I've already checked as in your posts)
Maybe the problem is that the same qustion has been asked a hundred times, and every time this list of diagnostics checks fixed the problem. The list didn't help me, I'm down to parts substitution where i don't have the parts. I'm a new member to the forum, but I'm not a nube to the problem.
Read my question....what is the voltage supposed to be. Apparently it is supposed to be 110. Got it. OK. Since its not, I assume its time to consider a new control box. But before I drop $500 is there any reason the voltage would be so low.
Pardon me....it isn't your fault, I realize that. I'm annoyed with Quadafire -- the dealer I bought it from has been to my home often enough he recognizes my voice on the phone and didn't need my address when I scheduled his last visit. The quadrafire corporate phone jockey won't talk to end users. They send me to the dealer that has already been bamboozled.
I want my current stove to work. I don't relish the idea of dropping $4k on another stove, or spending $1000 trying to get what I have working. Please understand my frustration. Its single digits outside and I'm freezing my butt off.
I guess I should consider myself lucky to have received a warm "Welcome to the web site."
Geesch...
