The electric went out at my Stepdaughters residence and her boyfriend hooked up a generator. When the power came back on her Harman P68 would not ignite and it shut down. He unplugged the pellet stove and plugged it back in. Now it will not do anything. The lights come on the control panel. but nothing starts (blower, auger, ect.). He told me it blinked 5 times prior to unplugging it. I can't get it to do anything other than light up. What is my best course of troubleshooting?

I assume you figured it out by now but I’d guess the generator wasn’t an inverter type and fed “dirty” electricity to the control module, which probably fried it. Hope you’re enjoying a fire again!
I think he misrepresented what actually happened. After diagnosis it was the combustion motor. When I put it in test mode only the room fan would run. I learned to bypass the vacuum switch and the auger worked. At first I thought it was the vacuum switch then I learned the combustion motor would have to run to trigger the switch. I replaced the combustion motor and it is working again.
