Spooky Harman P61-2 Circuit Board comes alive when mode knob is set to off?

Hello

Has anyone heard the combustion fan go on and off along with the LED when the stove is set to off?
The Status light also goes on and off! @##@@##!!

This is a manual light P61-2 stove with the recessed ash door.

Kinda SPOOKY!

I guess it is a fairly common problem, because people who have seen it and replaced the potentiometers have fixed it that way.
Since the Ignitor wires are there and the burn pot has the bolts to hold the ignitor cradle, I put in an Auto Lite board to fix the issue and prepare for the upgrade to auto lite.
Now it just needs the cradle and ignitor and bang it is a P61a-2 ! ! !

See video

 

Yeah Don, real spooky...never heard of it... or posted about it.

 

I'd say yer right with the board issue, but I have seen one or two NEW units with a miswired harness.....basically the wrong wire in the wrong terminal.....its obvious once you figure it out, so, don't assume anything

 

Thanks LW, good to know!

 

Problem Solved! A bad ESP probe! Is there a way of testing it? Autopsy! LOL

It was NOT the Circuit Board or Pot, in this case it was the Black ESP probe going to an older circuit board that does not have the click off feeling!

Here is what I found.
Old CB
When turning the stove to off with the older CBs the auger does cycle a few times whether it is in Stove Mode or Room Temp mode.

New CB with click off feeling and DIP switches.
When turning the stove to off with the newer CBs the auger stops imediately whether it is in Stove Mode or Room Temp mode!

In conclusion it also seems the circuitry on the newer Circuit Boards maybe more reliable and shutting down the stove!

I would recommend to update these older Circuit Boards!
