Update on Harman PP38 pellet stove-advice still needed.

[Agrippina65]

Hi,
I got some good advice with my last post but I'm still having difficulties. I got the cover off of the back of the stove, used the wing nut to open the feeder box and as expected, it was full of pellet dust. After I cleaned it out completely I put pellets and starter in the hopper and tried to start it again. I noticed real differences: when I turned on the blower knob I could hear the blower moving, there was more air coming through, and when I opened and closed the hopper lid the change in air made a difference in the flame. But I still had the same problem. The pellets got burning very well but when they burned down, that was the end of the fire. It still is not feeding for some reason. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

It still is not feeding for some reason.

Does the auger feed pellets at any time? Start up?

If you turn the feed dial to test does the auger feed pellets for approximately 1 minute?

If auger does feed pellets:

Have you ever cleaned the esp probe? When fire starts it must reach a certain temperature in a set time period for the auger to start feeding. The esp probe is what senses that temperature if dirty or broken the stove will not sense temperature and will not feed additional pellets.

If the auger is turning and you're not feeding any pellets I would suspect the feed tube is clogged. You'll need to remove the auger to clean it out.
