when you turn to test, does the auger turn and the fan come on after a few seconds? If that does turn and fan comes on, do a manual start with some 1/4 of pellets soaked in rubbing alcohol with a quick light, don't let it sit and build up fumes!

Thanks,,,Just tried it,,the fan comes on and runs for about 30 seconds, but the auger is not turning to feed the pellets into the burn pot. whats the possibility of a jammed auger and if so what is the best way to clear the jam with a hopper full of pellets? it sounds like it is trying to turn,,,,but nothing.

There is a set screw at the end of the auger, where the feed motor attaches. If that worked it's self loose, the auger wouldn't turn. If you can get to the back of the stove and check that first. There is a flat spot on the feed motor for it to seat into, so make sure it's lined up. Good luck. Rob

Thanks,

turns out it is a locked up combustion motor. Cleaned it real well , turned it by hand and nothing. Will not turn when electric is put to it. Sounds like i need a new motor huh? What do you think? Oh well still cheaper than propane. Thanks, Craig
