Ok, this is the first I am hearing of this ground wire thing.
After season 4 with my Europa I awoke to the feed motor making a helluva alot of noise, only to see that it completely bound up and wasn't feeding pellets.
Thinking the auger was jammed I emptied the stove and took the motor and gearbox off.
The shaft spun so easily, I knew it was the motor or gears.
Took the gear box apart and noticed the grease was caked up and pretty hard.
While taking the gears out I noticed the one gear that sits on a roll pin which sits in a hole, and how the hole was getty sloppy and the gear could shift making contact with the gear housing, causing it to jamb.
Well, I regreased and reassembled everything and it seemed to work fine for a day or two, and now it is making noise again, ALOT of noise, but still turning the auger.
I actually have heard this type of noise before on other motors I have and just assumed they were getting burned out.
What does this ground wire do, clean the line voltage noise?
Where should I ground the wire too?
Thanks...
And I may buy a new motor and gearbox anyway just in case.
