Hello all, I blew my transformer and a few other components on my board so I'm using a cycle timer to run my auger motor. I need to adjust my on and off time and was hoping someone could tell me the time? If someone has the data from the manufacturer that would be easiest unless someone can watch their light with a stopwatch. Just a low and high would be fine. Guessing the on time is always the same and the off time is the variable. Thanks for any help, 1

That is correct. The "ON" time is always 1.4 seconds. The "OFF" time in the five settings, from the lowest to the highest, are:

1: 7.0
2: 5.0
3: 3.0
2: 2.0
5: 1.5

This timing chart can be found on page 7 in the service manual. I have attached the svc manual below this text. It has other technical informations that could be useful for you.

Our Whit will feed (on time) 2 seconds

I have built a couple stove controllers, and use 2 seconds on as the base with ability to adjust + or -

We run our whit at 7 seconds off time on the big one an 10 seconds on the little one
 
Coooooooooooooooool.

Truth be known, most older stoves used simple on off timers for the feed, and a triac speed control for the room air fan.

Then the companies got it figured that they could have their controls made over seas for pennies and charge mega $$$$ for a new board when they died.

Glad you are up and going again.
