I have an older model VC stove (DV580). This stove uses Honeywell Comfort Control valve system that was discontinued. I found some older threads about this issue on this forum. This stove uses the RT8220A remote control. I have attached a photo of it. It cannot be operated by a universal remote. All of the functions (thermostat, fan speed, flame height, etc.) require the remote control to use. Otherwise you have to do a complete conversion that looks like it will cost me around 1k. Has anyone found a workaround for this yet? Does anyone have one of these remotes laying around that they can sell me?
