I have a Harman Accentra free standing stove that was purchased new in June 2009. The harman dealer installed the stove but never fired it up to test or check the draft, etc. It was installed without oak. It ran great until the ignitor shorted out in Dec. 2010 (crimped wires when originally installed at factory), we unfortunately had to cut ties with the dealer as they continued to try to charge us for the warranty ignitor replacement. Since then, all service/cleaning has become my responsiblity as the other harman dealers are not interested in servicing a stove they did'nt sell. Fortunately, i've found this forum as the posts have been a great help for us. Recently, we have had a problem that i have been unable to fix. The combustion blower continues to run non stop after the unit is turned off and allowed to fully cool. Unplugging the ac cord is the only way to stop the blower even though the unit is cold to the touch and has been off for over 8 hrs+. This happens whether the stove runs out of pellets or is turned off and allowed to fully cool. The combustion blower will stay off when the unit is replugged in however. Occasionally (which seems weird), the blower will shut off when the door is opened after a little while. The stove, pipe, esp sensor, etc has been thoroughly cleaned per the manual. I even replaced the esp last week (uy splicing kit replacement) in hopes that would do it. Still no help. My questions are:
1)Is it possible that when the ignitor shorted out and blew fuse on board that the control board was damaged?
2)Any other checks/test i can do to isolate the board as the problem?
3)Any suggestions for where i can order the board either online or a reputable dealer that will ship parts?
4)Anyway a DDM tool can be obtained as no dealer support is available?
5)Should i buy a draft meter since i see no record of it being set by installer and the stove seems to burn fine?
Thank you in advance for any and all the advice that you can give.
Sincerely,
Patrick
