I have a Whitfield profile 30. My auger will start to turn but then stops and won't feed pellets. I cleaned the eye and still not working. I bypassed eye and still not working. Checked auger motor turns fine with a power bypass. Im thinking its the high temperature sensor. Please help

Does the high temp sensor have a little red button in the center?

I think this is your manual

If your Fault light is flashing, check Problem 8 in Troubleshooting section.
If its not flashing, check Problem 3 in Troubleshooting.

It wouldn't let me copy/past.

Also it may appear that you have a PhotoEye Filter as well that needs cleaned.
I found the eye in the back of my stove but not the filter. Do you have any idea where its at?

Here we see the relevant troubleshooting sections:

The door switch could very well be the culprit, since it is placed in a hot and dusty environment. And the door switch could be worn out, since it is activated whenever the door is opened/closed, but you will have to check each of the involved switches with an ohmmeter. The high limit switches and the pressure switch are normally closed ( zero ohm ). If you don't have an ohmmeter you can also bypass the switches one by one, but this means more fiddling with wires.
A new door switch can be found for $12 here:

Good luck and take care. Keep us posted.
