Jumper cable:
Jumping snap disks in order
No lights, no fans, no nothing.
It's not the snap disks. Damn.

Rather than waste precious time (minimum of an hour) and gas driving I just had him order the box.
I know I'm taking a chance by not trying to test my control box in his stove, but I want my stove working again ASAP.
I see no reason why something else might be the problem.
I'll update this thread when I've got new control box plugged in and hope to post picture of working Castile insert.
Thanks to all for the help. I do enjoy trouble-shooting my own stuff. I learn a lot in the process.
Before this issue I had no idea what a snap-disk was.

Note this doesn't mean that the vacuum switch is bad.
grendel336 said:I just set the control box to "0" to run the diagnostic mode. (yes - I jumped snap disc #1 per instructions)
The fans work based on sequence, but again - the feed motor never cycled on.
Is it possible the feed motor AND the control box went dead at exactly the same F'n time????
Or maybe when one of them died it's blew out the other?

The hose that goes from the vac switch to stove may be plugged?? Remove hose from vac switch and blow into hose (blowing towards stove). If there is a clog of fines, it will be at the barb where the hose connects to the auger chute.

If hose is not clogged should I easily be able to blow through it like an open straw? Even if hopper, and probably auger, is full of pellets?
