This may have been discussed, but I was filling my hopper & had a pellet get on the back side of the hopper door, the door did not to shut completely so the auger would not run & my fire went out.
Had the stove since 07 & this had never happened, I was about to pull the stove & start tearing it down when I just happened to notice the pellet.
 
That idiot switch gets discussed and now costs $$ to be able to attach hopper extender on a p43

had similar problem last week...
1st start of the season and after ignition, the auger stopped, lazy flame, 6 blink trouble code etc....what happened was I had noticed the rubber grommet under the hopper latch was [what I thought] loose, so I tightened it a bit too much like around 3 turns clockwise. so when I closed the hopper lid, it did not lock in tight.. the rubber grommet needs to go in the hole and exspand when you pull the latch down and I had shortened the travel downwards.
my stove was picking up a vacuum leak as it should have.
As I posted before, no matter how well u know your stove, there's always room for a self inflicted glitch....>>
