After starting the fire,it will burn for up to 30 minutes,then go out,but pellets continue to feed.I've cleaned everwhere that can be accessed,so there is no ash to block airways.All the swicthes seem to be giving the proper readings when checked w/an ohmmeter.Door and ash trap gaskets are good,and damper is adjusted to factory spec.
This problem started after I had to remove the auger to clear a jam (a nail got jammed in it).
Stove had been a bit tempermental prior to this,but at least it would keep running.
Any help would be appreciated.
 
if the pellets are burning up faster than they are feeding you must close down the damper a wee bit (assuming of course everything is clean). are whole pellets jumping around in the burnpot? if so, this is also an indicator that you have too much airflow. Ideally you want some of the pellets "dancing" or vibrating excitedly in the burnpot, but not leaping out.
