Auger Circuit Faulty
Make sure the stove has fully cooled (approximately 25 minutes) before conducting service. Unplug the
stove to prevent electrical shock.
The auger circuit consists of the
auger motor, flow switch, hopper
snap disk, and the wiring
between. If the auger motor is not
receiving electricity during normal
operation, you should check the
auger circuit for malfunctions. The
first step is to check the wiring.
Make sure no wires have been
pulled loose, severed, or melted.
Check the four red wires leading
to the hopper snap disk and flow
switch. Check the red and white
wires leading to the auger motor.
Disconnect each quick-connect
and re-connect, making sure full
contact is made.

Next, check the flow switch and hopper snap disk. These safety components were designed to disable the auger
motor in the event of a malfunction. The hopper snap disk disables the circuit if the hopper becomes too hot. The
flow switch disables the circuit if the vent becomes blocked. Follow the directions below to test the flow switch.

Turn the stove on and test operation. If
the stove still does not work, replace the
wires and test the hopper snap disk (see
the directions below). If the stove does
work, the flow switch is not working.
Make sure the vacuum hose is attached
at both ends and in good shape.
Replace the flow switch if the hose is
correct.

Turn the stove on and test operation. If
the stove works normally, the hopper
snap disk is malfunctioning and should
be replaced. If the stove still does not
work, see the section for testing the
circuit. board.
If you do wish to test
the snap disk, heat the
back side of the snap
disk with a lighter. It
should show continuity
until it is warmed to
200¡ (3 to 10 seconds
under a lighter) - you
