Possible Remedies:
Remove the control board. On the back there is one fuse. If it ap-
pears to be bad, replace it with a 5 Amp 125 Volt fuse. Plug the stove
back in and try to run the unit.
Wait for the stove to cool for about 30 - 45 minutes. It should now
function normally. If not use the owner's manual to locate the high
limit thermodisc. To test if the thermodisc is bad, you can bypass it
as described previously for the POF thermodisc.
Remove the auger motor from the auger shaft and try to run the unit.
If the motor will turn, the shaft is jammed on something. If the mo-
tor will not turn, the motor is bad.
Start by emptying the hopper. Th en remove the auger motor by
removing the auger pin. Remove the auger shaft inspection plate in
the hopper so that you can see the auger shaft . Gently lift the auger
shaft straight up so that the end of the auger shaft comes up out of
the bottom auger bushing. Next, remove the two nuts that hold the
top auger biscuit in. Th en rotate the bottom end of the auger shaft
up towards you until you can lift the shaft out of the stove. Aft er you
have removed the shaft , inspect it for bent fl ights, burrs, or broken
welds. Remove any foreign material that might have caused the jam.
Also, check the auger tube for signs of damage such as burrs, rough
spots, or grooves cut into the metal that could have caused a jam.
Check all wires and connectors that connector to the auger motor,
high limit switch, and the Molex connector.
If the fuse is good, the wires and connectors check out good, and the
high limit switch did not trip, test for power going to the auger mo-
tor. If there is not a full current going to the auger motor when the
fuel feed light is on, you have a bad control board.
