I'm looking at a Harman P38 that needs an auger motor, is there anything else that the stoves are prone to that I should check for or be wary about?

I whish I had a clear answer for you, but i don't. I can tell you that I was having the auger squeak and the dealer switched out burnpot to solve that. He told me at the time that Harman had a bad design and that the 5 holes were to close to the auger tube. All this could be true, however it did not solve my squeak as that did show back up some weeks later. I should also note that at the time they also gave me a new auger free of charge even though I was not on warranty, that was nice of Harman to do. As for my squeak that only shows up for late burn season, so I have not herd it yet, hoping that a better pellet (cubex) will do the trick.Lineman30 said:noelp68 said:I had my old 5 hole burnpot replaced well after my factory warranty had expired, I think thats something Harman will replace at any time seeing that it was a fault on design
I was wondering what are the signs that the burn pot is bad? I have the old design and was wondering why is it a bad design? What makes the new pot better?
ducker said:my p38 had this issue.. with the additional holes. It caused the fire to burn very low in the pot - and as a result, a hole/gap appeared between the auger tube and the burn pot.
It was still under warranty - the shop I bought the stove from came out and replaced the pot on their own.
My stove burned a lot better after this.
I had a squeaking auger motor that the company replaced, when they reviewed my stove for the above failing burn pot.
I originally didn't know if it was the auger motor squeaking or some fine's build up in the auger tube.
So happy that auger motor was replaced!
