Ok the auger is not turning, when i connect the thermostat jump the whine noise is because the auger is not turning.

next step?

PS - red light is on constant

How did you determine that your auger is not turning? ''the whine noise is because the auger is not turning''?????

These turn very slow! You need to really pay attention. A full cycle of on for a second or two, off for a second or two and they turn maybe a quarter revolution or so. I'd bet the whine noise is the auger turning, or at least trying to. If you confirm that it is powered and jammed, it can be removed fairly easily. Check the intake on the hopper where the auger is too, may sure there's not a matchbox car in there. Don't ask. Red light is normal when it is actively calling for heat and cannot sense fire, this is the status when it runs dry on pellets.

Yea, I agree. The reason I asked the question is because on mine, there is NO WAY to see the auger turning. The first inclination is to open the door and look up the chute to see if it's turning but, as you know, that would kill the vacuum and the feed. Secondly, even IF you could do that, the auger will only turn continuously for a short time if you push the reset button. That's why I wanted to know how long the squealing noise lasted. It would tell us if it's the auger or not. It could be 'normal' rubbing or it could be that the auger is slipping on its motor shaft. That's why your suggestion of pulling the auger assembly makes sense as a next step.

Too funny. Must be a toddler in the house. Reminds my of when I had a toilet in the back yard trying to back flush out the Thomas engine with a hose. I never did get an explanation of what my then 3 or 4 year old was thinking.
