Hi I have an Advance and when I turn it on it operates for about an hour or 2 then the status light starts blinking and the fire dies down and eventually it stops. I then then turn the stove temp to reset it and it starts up again. Sometimes when I turn the knob it sounds as if its turning off so i then turn it a little further left or right and it starts up again. I constantly have to turn the knob to keep it on. What do you think the problem is? Also worth mentioning that I have practically taken it apart to clean it throughly to make sure that it's not doing this because its clogged. I have cleaned the esp probe, i disloged the fines box and cleaned that out, I cleaned out the distribution blower and all the fans and it still does this. Please advise. Thanks

Thanks for contacting us, happy to help. When the unit dies down and stops, how many blinks are you seeing on the status light? Does this happen in Room Temp mode, Stove Temp Mode or both? When the unit is running, how does your fire look? Is it crisp and torchy or does it have any laziness/waviness to the fire? With the control board knob issue you mentioned, could be something with the potentiometer that the control board knob/shaft connects into. You can pull the shaft out of the control board to see if the shaft end looks worn/not making good connection into the potentiometer. It's a plastic pronged end; should snap firmly in place. Generally when customers experience this it is the potentiometer itself that has become worn. In most cases that would warrant a new circuit/control board, however I do believe there are various outlets where repair work can be completed on control/circuit boards. Keep us posted, happy to help troubleshoot and guide you in the right direction. Thanks!

Is there a good way to clean the control board to help it lest longer? Do you think it would be ok to use a can of DeoxIT D5 to clean the dials once a year to help the control board last longer?

Thanks for contacting us. I'm not aware of any cleaner that is suggested or recommended for the control/circuit boards. I do think during annual maintenance it is good to have compressed air to clean off any dust or debris. Periodically moving the dials during the on and off season is also another good way to keep things tip top especially if there is high humidity. Any other questions please let us know. Thanks!

Is there a way to order an original circuit board made specifically for my 2005(6) harmon advance. I bought ebay board that did have my model on it, read instructions set switches accordingly and did black probe wire like it said. Seemed to work OK till few days later filled house with smoke, over fed pellots, and started up again even when stove switched off. Original board all switches where on .

Thanks for contacting us Paul, happy to help. The 4 Output Platinum Circuit Board is going to be the only circuit board offered for the Advance. This board is designed for the Advance as well as other Harman Models. If there are defects with the board, there is a 90 day manufacturer warranty. I would suggest double checking all electrical connections and dip switch settings and give it one more try. Double check the knobs and shafts put in to make sure they are installed correctly. I would also recommend giving the ESP probe a cleaning - kzfaq.info/get/bejne/odpnodF4sr-5XZ8.html If you are still experiencing issues from there, I would contact the retailer you purchased the board from so they can file a warranty and get you a new board. Keep us posted, happy to help.

Hello. Great videos. I just bought a house with a PP38 Harmon. First time operating a stove but it seems very simple. Based on what I know about the operation it seems that I can’t get the fans operating as they should. They work intermittently on start up and if it’s even possible. One knob sometimes turns on one fan or the other blower. Have you seen this before. I have cleaned it and it was in pretty bad shape. I still feel like I need to take some compressed air to the blades. Do you have this control board for a PP38. Thanks for your help

Hey Brent, thanks for contacting us. Yes the PP38 is a great model. The cleaner it is the more efficient it will operate. Cleaning the fan paddle periodically is a great thing to do. With your blowers being intermittent, I would suggest we first check the ESP Probe in the exhaust and give it a good cleaning- Video here on how to do that. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/odpnodF4sr-5XZ8.html Yes, we do carry the control board. Harman no longer makes the simple rotary board for the PP38 - There is now a retro-fit control board that has the built in thermostat. Here is a link so you can view. pellethead.com/product/harman-p38-circuit-board-retrofit-upgrade-kit-pre-serial-008190059/.

20 year old Harman Advance: Stove shut down. Nothing runs in test mode only hums. Bypass vacuum switch all motors turn. In regular mode sucking on vacuum hose does nothing, hear a click, but nothing. Combustion motor seems to be a little noisy. Am I looking at a new combustion motor and/or control board.
@EarthSense
@EarthSense 2 жыл бұрын
Thanks for contacting us. Being nothing runs in test mode would cause me to lean more towards this being a circuit board issue here. Are you getting any status light blinks? Vacuum switch is only in line with auger motor and only comes into play in stove temp or room temp mode, not test mode. Test mode the distribution blower, combustion blower, and feed motor should run for 1 minute. Generally when we hear a combustion blower getting noisy, it usually indicates it's on it's last leg. You can certainly pull it out and do some cleaning on the motor and fan paddle to see if that makes a difference. Let's start with your status light - let us know if you are getting a blink sequence in stove temp or room temp modes. Thanks!

Do you have a video of how to replace the fuse and/or control panel for an Advance model??
@EarthSense
@EarthSense 6 ай бұрын
Thanks for contacting us. Unfortunately we do not have a video on that for the Advance model, however we can walk you through it. You'll need to remove the side panel on the control board side. I believe it's two 5/16" bolts to loosen and the panel will slide all the way out. From there you will be able to see and access the circuit board and fuse on the board. If you need to remove the circuit board, you will pull off the knobs on the front faceplate first, then on the back side where the circuit board is located it is pressed fit into each corner just like the video here. With a little pressure you can release each corner of the circuit board, then disconnect the wiring to pull it all the way out. A great light will be a very helpful tool, and make sure the stove is unplugged from the wall when perfoming this work. Any other questions let us know, happy to help!

Thanks for contacting us. I think it will be important to determine if the igniter is in operable ohm range first. Video below on how to check the ohms on your igniter. If the igniter is in operable ohm range, I think we should take a closer look at the control board and electrical connections on the control board. Proper ohm range for a Harman igniter that's in a P61A should be 45-53 ohms. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/sJqnoKaUnpzWhn0.html Here's a link to the Harman igniter replacement which may be helpful as you inspect your igniter element. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/n52eZLaEzKm0fZc.html Keep us posted, happy to assist.

First I want to thank you for your videos. I have the Harmon P61A and have a question regarding the adjustment of the fourth pot switch. The one adjacent to the igniter LED and accessed by a small screwdriver. I replaced my control board but before I did my grandson was fiddling with it and moved this pot to the extreme counter clockwise direction. I have not been able to find any info on this pot, what it's for or how to adjust it. Thank you kindly Gary
@EarthSense
@EarthSense Жыл бұрын
Hey Gary, thanks for the message, happy to help. Glad the videos are helpful! That small dial next to the igniter LED light on the front of the control board is a micro-adjustment for the combustion/exhaust fan voltage. Clockwise will increase, Counter Clockwise will decrease. Generally that dial only needs adjustment if we have an odd venting configuration (Tall vertical rise or multiple elbows) or if the stove is operating in high altitude environments. Again, it is a micro-adjustment so you are not going to see a drastic change. If you have a standard venting configuration and are at normal altitudes I would suggest you turn the dial all the way to the left, then all the way to the right so you can know where the middle is and have it set there. Any other questions please let us know. Thanks!

Hey Ryan, If you are not getting any lights and you verified the fuse is good and outlet was good, then more then likely yes, it would be a circuit/control board issue. You can always closely check the wiring and wiring of the power cord coming in as well as connections to the board. It could be that the wire harness wiggled loose. Check the simple things first.

Thank you for the video. Just replaced the board in my P61A. I set the dip switches before I had the old board out and got #5 in the wrong position. When you said red, white or black, I went and looked and adjusted accordingly. This corrected the ESP trouble code that was flashing. Couple questions though. On the board there is a potentiometer in the middle of the board near the igniter status light. My was at a different setting than the new board. What does that do, and where should it be set? The other is; when I got the new board out and next to the old, I had an extra set of sensor wires and needed to unsolder from the old board the receptacle and solder into the new one at the J2 location. What does that sensor do? Thanks...Smed
@EarthSense
@EarthSense 2 жыл бұрын
Thanks for contacting us. Just heard back from our lead tech on this: The dial in the middle of the board is the draft adjustment and I have never had a situation where that would need to be changed. The default position for that dial would be -00 or the dial turned all the way clockwise. The extra set of wires in the J2 position is for an auger micro switch on the feed system of the older stoves. This would give the board a signal when the auger was moving but with the new boards this switch has been made obsolete and now everything is controlled by the ESP and room probes. I would recommend removing the switch and wires that go to it to prevent them from getting tangled in other components or at least zip tie them up and out of the way. Any other questions please let us know. Thanks!

Thanks for contacting us Joel. If your control board panel does not have the ignition toggle opening, then you must have a P61. Harman made a P61 and a P61A - The P61 does not have auto ignition and requires manual lighting of the fire. The P61A has auto ignition. If you do have a P61 that will be a different control board than the P61A. Here are some reference links.

Great Videos. Have a question? I have the Harman Accentra Pellet Insert. I made a mistake cleaning the stove today. I was cleaning the burn pot and took off the burn put cleanout cover and used a metal spoon to scope the ash out and hit the ignitor by accident and saw it spark. I thought the stove was off, but apparently not. Now the stove will not turn on at all. It was working perfectly fine before this. Did I blow a fuse perhaps? How best do I determine why the stove will not turn back on. Any help would greatly be appreciated. Thanks.

Hi, I'm wondering if I need to replace my Accentra stand alone control board. "Stove" mode works pretty good; it rarely starts on the first try but if I turn it off, then on it almost always starts. If not, one more off/on will do it. The "Room mode" will not start- I've jumped the thermostat wires at the stove (bridge the two blade terminals) which doesn't make any difference. I get 4 blinks (indicating a bad room probe) ; Bottom line it will not start in the room mode. Any ideas/suggestions are appreciated , Thanks Jay

I have not changed any settings on the stove the vent pipe has just been cleaned the outside air was cleaned and checked. The door gaskets are tight. Anything else we should check. I have not changed pellet brands. I have burned 2 tons and after each ton i have done what harman recommends. I am also very strict on my cleaning.

Matt, thanks for contacting us. Thanks for the explanation, sounds like you do a great job with your maintenance. If there is soot as you described in most cases this would be a combustion issue. What does your fire look like? Is it vigerous and torchy or is it slightly wavy/lazy? You've checked a lot of areas which is great. In several cases this would be a direct effect from a stove that required cleaning and/or gasket seals that were no longer tight. In your case I would suggest you check- - the burnpot holes to make sure they are all open - the burnpot cleanout/igniter area and the intake air throat that goes back. If you dont have fresh air installed there will be an intake flapper; make sure thats not sticking. If you do have fresh air intake make sure there are no obstructions. - Check your combustion blower voltage- should be near line voltage during startup. Check the combustion blower paddle and exhaust throat by removing the plate behind the ash pan. Let us know what you find, happy to assist.

Hey Larry, I believe you have been messaging with Matt J who will be following up with you. I believe you have a Harman Advance model. Removing the control board will be slightly different on that unit. Here are some basics: -Make sure the stove is unplugged from the wall first. Pull off the rear side panel of the stove where the control board is - 2 bolts to loosen on the front side near the lower ash pan area and that full panel will slide off. Pull the knobs off the board with a firm tug. Get a good light. Access the circuit board from the backside. There are little mushroom push-on clips in each of the 4 corners of the circuit board - gently release one corner at a time. From there disconnect the wiring - ESP connection, Room Sensor Wire Connectors, and Main Molex from the board and pull it completely out. Any further questions please let us know. Thanks.

Hi, we have an older P61A that has been working great for over 10 years. Recently, we started getting a trouble code for the ESP (3 flashes) and the stove wasn't working properly: the blowers would stop blowing and the flame would get really "lazy" for a moment and then the blowers would start again and it would work properly for a few minutes. This would continue, regardless of setting. Yesterday we cleaned the stove out, including the ESP (thanks for that video, by the way!) and now the stove won't work properly at all. The flame is HUGE, the pellets continue to feed too frequently, even when set way down. We've set the temp all the way to 50F and the feed all the way down, switched from stove to room temp, auto to manual, basically all of the setting combinations we can come up with. No good. The stove just will not work as it should. It is either way too hot or shutting down. Is it likely that the control board needs to be replaced? Can you recommend any other things we should check or test? Totally stumped here!

Hey Rose, thanks for contacting us, happy to help. The two devices in your stove that will control all functions of operation - Combustion, Feed, Room Blower, will be the ESP Probe and Control Board. Given what you are describing here, it certainly sounds like we have a bad ESP, a bad control board or a combo of the two. We have seen many cases where one takes out the other creating problems such as what you are experiencing. The replacement ESP's are fairly low cost, the Control board a bit higher in cost. If it were me, I would start by replacing the ESP and seeing if that fixed the issues. If it does not, than the control board would be the next to replace.

@@emmielou72 Thanks for contacting us Claire. Glad the videos have been helpful and a new ESP got your stove up and running. Yes, 15 minutes is a long time for ignition; should be between 6-10 minutes. This is usually going to be an issue with the igniter or an issue with air flow. Let's make sure you have the burnpot and burnpot holes clean and all of the ash cleaned out of the burnpot igniter area with the cover plate securely on when done. Also, sometimes heavy ash can accumulate on the igniter and cradle cage; important to make sure it's clean. From there if you are still having long ignition issues we can check the igniter ohms - A Harman finned igniter should be reading between 45.0-53.0 ohms to be in proper range.

When I replaced the fuse and then plugged the stove in unfortunately I blew the panel there is a big burn spot on the thing with the color on top ? Is this because the stove was set to go on ? I didn’t have all the controls turned off when I plugged it in ??? Please need help here .

Hey Diane, sorry to hear of the troubles. I do not believe this happened because you had the controls not set to off when you plugged the stove back in. For a panel to blow like that, it tells me there is a short circuit somewhere in the unit. More than likely this is what blew your fuse in the first place. I would suggest closely inspecting all of the wires in the stove with a good light to see if there are any bare/exposed/or melted wires grounding out to the metal on the stove or to one of the motors. I would also suggest thoroughly inspecting the igniter/ igniter cradle, and igniter wires to see if anything is warped or exposed wires are touching directly to the metal. During start-up, it's the combustion blower and igniter that come on - most likely the short has something to do with one of these two parts. It's important we figure out what is causing this so the new control board does not blow/fry like this one did. Keep us posted with what you find, we are happy to help.

I have a P43 pellet stove once lit in constant burn mode it will run till it needs cleaning without any issue. The problem I am having is during light off, it seems to feed too many pellets in to the point that when it lights the pellets it will snuff the flame out and push pellets over to the ash pan. I have made sure that the ignitor is clean out between the fins, and all the holes in the burn pot are clear and I have the same issue. Where I bought it from tends to think that the auger might be spinning to fast and that the dip switches need adjustment. They want to bring the whole stove to the shop to service this. Is there a way to check those settings before removal of the whole stove? Thanks Ian

Thanks for contacting us Ian, happy to help. I think we should double check the igniter element to ensure it's in optimal ohm range. 45-53 ohms is optimal range for the Harman Finned Igniter. Video below on how to test that with a basic multi-meter. In the operation of the board there are timing sequences for the fuel feed during start-up. This could very well be an igniter that is operating slightly out of optimal range causing the unit to go through a second feed cycle during start-up. Once your fire is lit what does it look like? Is it bright, crisp, torchy - or is it slightly wavy/lazy? We want to make sure our airflow appears correct. If we have a loss of combustion air somewhere that will certainly play into the ignition process. If you wanted to check the dipswitches on the board here are the correct settings for your P43 model for Board Revision A, B, C, D & UP. (On the circuit board you will see a sticker with the board revision.) If you have a BLACK ESP Probe Wire: 10000101. If you have a RED ESP Probe Wire: 10001101 Igniter Ohm Check Video: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/sJqnoKaUnpzWhn0.html Let us know what you find!

@@kc3kop915 Thanks Ian, glad you were able to validate those two elements. How is your air flow when the fire is burning? Does it appear crisp/torchy? Or is it wavy/lazy in any way? The super heated air after rushing past the igniter element is what is lighting your fire. If your flame is crisp and torchy in operation then our air flow should be fine. When you watch the stove on start-up and it cycles the load of pellets into the burnpot, how full does it initially get? Does it go into a second round of feeding fuel before it lights?

​@@EarthSense Hello, Sorry I did not respond, I just saw this a year later. I did end up changing the ignitor and it fires off now with in the 5-to-8-minute window. I did test the other ignitor and the ohms were 48. I am not sure what the issue is with that ignitor. I still do get odd starts though. If you’re looking at the burn pot from the front the right side of the pellets do not start when the left side starts. The problem is that sometimes it won’t get going and pellets may overflow into the pan, or I guess it starts a second cycle and feeds to many pellets and snuffs everything out. The initial start I would say the pellets fill up to the first row of holes in the burn pot. Next time I start it, I will make a video and post it. Ian

Hey Adam, Thanks for the message. What type of issues are you experiencing with your P68? The circuit board and ESP Probe are the two main sensors controlling the functionality of the unit, yes. There is also a vacuum switch in your unit that will shut down the auger feed if it feels there isn't proper negative pressure in the firebox, senses restriction in the exhaust manifold or vent pipe, or if the vacuum switch was faulty. If you are experiencing other issues with the proper control and operation of the stove, then yes, it would typically be an ESP or Circuit Board issue or a combination of the two. Feel free to provide us more information on what is going on with your unit, we are happy to help and are confident we can assist in getting your stove back up and running to 100%. Thanks.

Thanks for they reply. At the end of last season I had trouble with it shutting down (combustion blower keeps running). Otherwise the distribution blower kicks off and the feed auger stops normally. I replaced the ESP probe and thought I was still having issues but didn't test it out thoroughly. This season starting up I experienced the same issue and I replaced the ESP probe again with a brand name part. Still having the issue. Additionally, I am having trouble with the distribution blower starting and or keeping running when the stove is up to a good operating temp. The startup works fine, shut down works fine other than the combustion blower is not shutting off after several hours. If I unplug it - it goes off and stays off when I plug it back in moments later after having shut it down hours prior and letting it cool off properly. Hope that makes sense. The vacuum and other safety(lid) switches seem to be operating fine.

Hey Adam, Thanks for the detailed message. Based on what you are describing here I can't think of anything else that would be causing these issues except for the control/circuit board. The ESP Probe and Control Board are the only two items that control the Distribution blower as well as shutting down the exhaust fan once the stove goes below the set cool down temperature. Being you have now replaced that ESP probe twice, my only thought is that it has to be the control/circuit board creating the issue. Once you receive the new control board, make sure you set the dipswitches properly according to the instructional sheet based on your P68 model, wire color of your ESP probe, and RPM of the auger motor in your P68. The instructional sheet is pretty easy to follow. Any questions let us know, otherwise please let us know how everything is working once installed. Thanks.
