Had a great guy come over today & took apart my Lopi Leyden . After a couple hours it was up & running. Less than 2 hours the auger just stopped again . The fella admits that he didn't know how he got it up cause everything checked out fine. Him & I are both stymied by this. I gotta get this thing going again, please, any & all advice asap as the stove is over our living room heat duct so the oil furnace has to crank to get heat in here. Thanks guys & girls Not the gold hopper safety button
 
Common things - hopper lid switch, vacuum switch not satisfied for various reasons, bad motor, auger jam, damaged wiring.

Any fault codes show up?
 
I would start by jumping around the vac switch and see how that goes. Stove warms up and expands and looses vacuum. Good start. Then would look at proof of fire switch failing. One can jump around that for testing purposes too.
