Woke up this morning to the pellet stove not working. Turned it back on and now there are no pellets being feed. I can hear the fan and the auger motor however the motor sounds as though it's zipping.. Any ideas?!?
Englander pvd25 stopped feeding pellets!

Need a little more info. What type of stove is it. Is the hopper empty or bridged? If the stove ran out out of pellets it takes a couple of reset pushes to get them to feed all the way again. How old is the stove and when was the last time the combustion blower was pulled and cleaned? Does it have lubrication ports? Are you sure the funny sound is coming from the auger area? If so, empty the hopper and make sure the auger is not jammed with pellet fines, children's toys, nails or any other matter that might have worked its way into the hopper. Good luck and report back.

If you take the back cover off the stove try and move the upper auger motor you may have a pellet jam..

Removed both augers and it seemed to be a jam. Scraped down the pipe as well as the pole and it's working well. I will hear a knocking noise now and then hope it's nothing major!
