Hi Dan,
This is likely a timer issue. The auger motor obviously works and the combustion blower should be the first thing, first blower you hear. It runs when the stove is in the start mode. The auger is enabled when the temp reaches 95 degrees in the combustion chamber.

It’s possible the 95 degree thermo-disc is faulty. To test it, if you are comfortable with working with electricity, unplug the stove, locate the thermo-discs by removing the right side panel, and place a jumper wire or connect the two wired to the thermo-disc. That bypasses the disc and and enables the auger. When the heat in the combustion chamber rises, the second 110 degree thermo-disc enables the room blowers. So with the thermo-discs byassed, the auger and room blower should come on. This is a fairly easy test. If things still don’t work, replace the thermo-discs.

If the thermo-discs prove to be good, you likely need to replace the timer. The ‘message’ from the thermo-discs is probably not getting through the off timer to the other components.

Hope that helps!

Hi Phillip, it is right beside or near the other thermo-disc.

Hi Breanna,
There is likely a problem with the auger itself. It could be that the auger has become sligtly warped and so only hangs up periodically. Or, the auger tube could be worn. Sometimes wear on either end of the auger tube or at the point where the corn feeds in from the hopper can create a small sliver of metal that can move and jam the auger. I recommend removing the auger, inspect both the auger and the auger tube for any kind of obstruction.
It is less likely, but it’s also possible that one of the gears in the auger motor gear box has worn and lost a tooth or two. That could also cause the auger to stop or hang up.
Lastly, it is possible that the auger motor/gear box has worn and one of the gears has lost a tooth or two, or is loose allowing it to jam or miss and then the auger stops.
So, I would say inspect first, then if nothing obvious can be found, consider a new auger motor, auger, and bushing kit.
Thank you for checking in!

HiLarry,
The ductwork adapter kit comes with all you need to connect to your existing ducts. You will remove the existing housing on the top of your stove, remove the secondary blower, then install the secondary blower in the new housing, connect the duct adapter, then connect to the adapter’s 14 inch opening to run a duct into your existing ducts. Some find it works best to also install an automatic damper in the new duct that closes in the absence of heat from the stove. That prevents any reverse flow when the stove is not operational. Or, of course, you could install a manual damper and close it whenever not using the stove (like in summer). I hope that helps!
Thank you for checking in!

Hi Craig,
The instructions are in the box. Basically, the secondary heat exchanger blower on top that currently is hinged to allow opening is removed, the blower is relocated to a new housing that comes with the kit, the rectangular cover underneath the current blower housing is removed, and the new duct then fits perfectly on top of the stove. …hope that helps.
