It is identified as "item 8" in the PDF link below, which also shows where this is located on the stove. There are actually 3 separate components associated with this item. I believe the part number for the bad component on my stove was 1-00-163, but please confirm this with your dealer. This part would have been very expensive if I had to purchase it, but luckily mine was covered under the warranty. If you are not sure this is the problem, it would probably be better to have a service tech. come out and diagnose / fix it. If you purchase the part yourself and it does not fix the problem, they will likely not return it. I don't have an actual picture from my stove, but I have provided a picture of the part. Hope this helps.

Thank you. Yes I do know that part... mostly referred to as the stove pressure switch. I guess some call it the draft pressure switch. Thank you for the info and pictures it was helpful. Hope I never need one they are very EXPENSIVE!

Thanks for the replies and sorry I have been a bit absent I wasn't receiving the alerts follow up posts were issued. Likely my email was the problem.

None the less, I came to my wits end with the stove. I was fortunate enough to have a Reading Juniata available from a family member who was no longer using it so I recently installed that here. They only wanted scrap value for it so I was fortunate to find this.

At this point my stove is disconnected and moved to the side in the basement for now.

My dealer tech when he was here said if it was a board or the pressure switch, that the stove would not light or would not stay lit so it intrigues me now to hear this. He was very, very convincing that if the board or the pressure switch were bad the stove would not light. I'm very disappointed to now here this. Fortunately I have not done anything drastic with the stove. At this point, I only have enough vent space for the Juniata but I would love to get that Harman back working. At some point in the future I'll speak with my stove dealer and see if he could spare me a pressure switch to at least try it, and then see if that was the issue. The only reason I swapped out the stoves was the story he gave me that it, would not light if the pressure switch and board was bad. Really puzzling.
