No Power to Coal-Trol
Hopefully Jerry will see this soon. I just purcased a Pocono, picked it up yesterday, plugged it in and no red light on the control box. I checked the fuse and it looks good. What now? I am in centrl NH and the dealer I purchased it from is 150 miles away in MA. Dick

Dick,
It sounds to me like you have a bad thermostat wire. The brains to the coal trol is in the thermostat, and when pulling the wire thro the walls they sometimes break and will not send signals to the power mod. I can send you another wire, but it will not go out till Monday's UPS. If you can't wait, you can pick it up at Wal-mart or Radio shack. It's 8 straind wire, round or flat will work. Please let me know.

OOOPS, disregard my post above, wrong forum.
Jerry, Thanks for te quick response. I pulled te cover to the control module and pused on the terminals to make sure they were all tight. It worked. My house is now comfortable 70 degrees lthough a bit smokey. I'll be glad wen te paint settles down. The stove works like a charm. Thanks, again.
