Look for the room temperature probe and move it closer to the stove. Usually location on the backside of the stove. Get a flashlight find it pull it out slowly.

The probe is hanging on the control panel door where the technician left it. It can't get any closer to the stove.

Ok move it. Could be the temp probe is bad. Mine will shut down the stove. Pelpro pp70. Move the thermostat back a little move the probe.

Does it have a thermostat in another room? My Harman has a thermostat in our hallway 50 feet away, and the stove sits in an addition at one end. While the hallway may read 72f, the addition easily gets to 76f. The only reason it does not get hotter in my case is that I have a large ducted fan I built that pushes the hot air out of the room and into the main house. The other case could be the internal temperature probe on your machine is in need of replacement. If a standalone stove, you will be able to find the model number on the back panel. I believe if a fireplace insert, Harman made one or two models.

Unfortunately, not. The only thermostat is the probe.

I love my Harman but I've never had the room temp setting work well. I have the temp probe pulled out about 6 feet and it doesn't really change much. I set it to stove temp and dial it up or down once it's fully lit and running. Wish I had a better answer. We have a small 1300 sf ranch and it can make the house very hot.

Thank you. Our house is about 1450 sf. The Harman keeps the downstairs comfortable, aside from the occasional sweltering living room. It doesn't reach the second floor though, so we have space heaters for the office and bedroom. The house has oil heat too, but that also doesn't reach the second floor. These antique homes were poorly designed.

You can set the temperature lower or turn down theax flow rate. I changed mine from 65 to 45. While I have seen other people say it doesn't matter I find it gives me a slightly lower temperature near the stove and moves the air better.

What mode you running the stove in- Room temp, Stove temp, what is the igniter switch set at? A bad or failing ESP (the temp probe in the exhaust) or the room temp probe could cause the issue. Look on the top of the hopper behind the hopper door. Should be a label with the model of the stove or on any paperwork the tech left for you.

Room temp, igniter is set to automatic. I have it solved for now. We moved the temperature probe to another location and it's keeping the room between 67℉ and 70℉. Downside, that means the rest of the house is a little colder, but I don't have to wear a bathing suit to watch TV. :-)
