Santa Fe Auger is not working and can't seem to figure out why. Looking for some suggestions
When I plug in the stove the exhaust fan come in instantaneously, but I cannot get the auger to feed the fire box.
- Fuse is good as I have a continuous red call light.
- Control box blue light flashes six times for about 60 seconds at start-up.
- Can hit the reset button and just get the above start-up lights with no change.
- Ignitor works as I can get a flame if I manually put pellets in the fire box (and then get a green light on the call box).
- Vacuum hose is clear and I put a wire to clean out both inserts for the hose
- Pulled the Auger apart and cleaned it out and removed all excessive dust. I don't hear the auger even trying to run so it's not a jam.
- I manually overrode Snap disc #2 as well as the vacuum switch (pulled the connectors off and wired them directly) and no change. Snap Disc #2 button seems permanently in....meaning I am not able to "push" the button in....it already seams in.
- I just ran the everything on the stove again. Had the Vacuum seal bypassed and pulled the auger motor off to see if it was even running (earlier today I don't think it was), but this time the auger motor was turning so I installed the motor to the auger and tried start-up. Nothing. Pulled the auger motor off and it was not running this time......so am I thinking it's actually just a bad auger motor? At startup, I can hear the board "click" as I think this is to turn on the auger motor.
What am I missing??
Could the door seal/vacuum be the problem?
