Description
A pressure switch is often referred to as a vacuum switch. This sensor is looking for airflow within the stove to close the circuit to the feed system and the igniter. If your stove is feeding pellets, your pressure switch is ok. For the switch to work properly, the hopper and the front door must be making a tight seal. Almost all of the time, the switch is good but there is an air leak or point of failure somewhere else within the stove. For example, a clogged vent or burnt-out combustion blower motor.
This switch is calibrated to close the ignition and feed circuit at .10 WC PF.
See our Helpful hints and instructions for troubleshooting information.
Vacuum Switch Visual Note: The manufacturer of all OEM and AMP switches has made a design change. The switch received may appear different, but will work the same.
The switch is located in the rear of the stove. There is a white wire coming from the controller to one side of the switch and there are two light blue wires connected at the terminal on the other side of the switch. These light blue wires run to the igniter and to the feed motor. To change the switch, disconnect the white wire and double blue wires from the switch, disconnect the air tube, replace the switch and then connect the wires and tube back to the switch.
Troubleshooting
Troubleshooting Notes
If the stove is not feeding and you are getting a vacuum error, 99.99% there is usually nothing at all wrong with the switch. The switch is simply sensing an airflow problem and is doing the job it was designed to do. The switch is normally open, which means no power can flow through the switch until the switch senses enough airflow to close the contacts.
The most important thing to know about the pressure switch is:
if there is a problem with the switch, the stove's feed system will not dispense pellets because the auger motor is not getting power.
unlike most brands, there is no vacuum error code on Harman Pellet Stoves
Common things that cause the switch to remain open are:
Excessively Dirty Stove
Clogged vent
Burnt out of worn out combustion blower
Door Gaskets: poor seal on stove door or ash pan door
Door Handle: Handle mechanism is broken and the door cannot close properly
Bad Hopper Gasket
Missing hardware or broken latch on hopper lid
Ash pan must be in stove to create proper air flow
Combustion motor cover must be installed and seated properly
Fines collection box cover must be installed and tightly sealed
Units with a hopper lid switch, the switch can fail
Units that take the pressure reading from inside the hopper (early versions of the XXV, Accentra and Accentra Insert) can have a broken filter at the end of the vacuum hose or the vacuum hose may have fallen off the end mount
Accentra Inserts - Hopper lid can be hinge bound and not seating

I ordered a combustion fan and distribution fan, sensor and a pressure switch. Parts are high quality, most likely same as oem. With the info available on this site I was able to trouble shoot and select the right parts. Parts that fit several models came with instructions on how to wire. Great experience and my Harman XXV is back to nearly silent operation and works properly again.
