Harman Pellet Tech

[cjer]

Anybody good with the Harman pellet stoves? I have a P68 ~6-7 years old. It never really regulated temperature that well but it was acceptable. Lately it has been terrible. Here is what it did when I fired it for this year (was also doing it last year). It ran for about 24 hours keeping the room at ~72 degrees. Then it just would not regulate down. It just sort of sits there in a medium-fire and continues to heat. The room got to 82 before I manually shut it down. Could it be the control board? Is it affected by heat? Can the control board be replaced? I have already replaced and cleaned the "probe" and cleaned the entire furnace. Any clues?
Thanks.

Without a room thermostat, the stove temp setting can be a bit insensitive. i turn the furnace blower on so the whole house is heated. That evens out the rather broad temp range the programing seems to use. A stat will be going onto mine.

Mine actually does have the room temp dial and the thermocouple that reads room temp. It will regulate for a while then just keeps going up.

I bought a pellet/corn stove and was wondering where the best location might be. I have a metal arch building 20 by 20 with a 16 by 26 ad on wood building that is insulated. Would it be better to put the stove in the insulated area toward the back of the garage or toward the middle uninsulated metal arch area. If I put it in the metal arch area it would be less of a fire hazard, but if I put it toward the back it may be better because the insulated area may throw the heat out better and there would be an area where it would be warmer. If I go toward the middle of the garage, which later I plan on insulating, the heat may be distributed more evenly. Any ideas welcome. Thanks!
