yep read the manual I guess the draft motor speed is governed by the pressure switch so I guess I'm back to needing a pressure switch I will order one today..

Did the new pressure switch actually increase the draft motor speed as the manual said?

If on failure of the draft switch the direct vent slows down allowing fumes to exit the stove, that seems a pretty bad safety feature. Seems to deliberately make things less safe.

YES IT DID INCREASE THE FAN SPEED..

Whooda thunk it, thank goodness for the manual, and very glad to hear you got it fixed. I wonder if that isn't why they changed the design, because that can be a deadly situation. Be sure to have working carbon monoxide detectors if you continue using that stove.

YES THERE ARE DETECTERS AND THAT PROBABLY IS WHY THE SWITCH WAS UPDATED BUT THEY DIDNT HELP ON THE PRICE $424.OO AND ITS ABOUT THE SIZE OF A HALF DOLLAR LOL ALSO MY Harman DEALER COULDNT BELIEVE IT EITHER HE WAS PRETTY AGAINST ME BUYING THE PART CAUSE HE DIDNT THINK THE STOVE SHOULD HAVE RUN WITH THE BAD SWITCH BUT THANKS TO MOUNTAIN MANS PROBLEM I GOT IT FIGURED OUT..

And he would be right. The stove should not run with a bad swtch.

The $55.00 switch listed here prior would of protected all just the same.
For $424.00 you could of bought me a round trip flight ticket and I'd of came and hooked it up and had some beers together afterwards.

IT MIGHT HAVE WORKED IF I WOULD HAVE HAD ANY IDEA HOW TO HOOK THE PROBES UP.. AND IF I EVER NEED MY Harman DEALER FOR ANYTHING AGAIN I WOULD HAVE FELT PRETTY CRAPPY ASKING FOR HIS HELP AGAIN AFTER HE HELPED ME WITH THIS PROBLEM AND HAD I GONE AND BOUGHT A GENERIC SWITCH SOMEWHERE ELSE .. SOMETIMES MONEY ISNT EVERYTHING BUT THE BEERS WOULD HAVE BEEN GREAT
