I searched a lot but could not find any information.....I will be replacing the auger (#AUG-22) in my older breckwell P23i insert. I am just looking for any tips and or advice on the install. Has anybody done this before? What am I up against? Information is very scarce. Thanks in advance
 
Take a look at this and see if this helps.

 
Thankd for the reply...I saw that YouTube video while searching ....it doesn't show how to remove the auger shaft. taking the motor off is easy I'm just not sure how to properly remove the auger shaft. I guess I will just wing it...I'm ready for a new stove!

Perhaps you could record what you do so others will have something to look at. Or even take a few pics and post them for future reference for others. Good luck
 
okay so I removed the old auger slid the new one in and it seems to be working fine... but now I am having an issue with the convection blower. when I turn on the stove the blower is not running. I thought it might be shot but I plugged it into the combustion blower side and the fan works fine. So what else could prevent the convection blower from starting? I cleaned the blades and it spins easily and of course if I left the stove run once fire started within 5 minutes the high temp circuit is triggered in the stove shuts down. Thanks for any help
 
test the snap disk. Sounds like a possible issue. The convection blower does not start with the stove only the combustion blower should. Convection should start when it reaches the proper temp. Make sure you did not knock a wire off somewhere. Check all connections.
 
Before I upgraded my circuit board both blowers fired up when the stove was turned on...I will check all connections when I get home...thanks for responding mralias
