Pretty sure the auger motor has a thermal switch as well. If it gets too hot it would trip. Once it cooled it would reset and the auger would start once the stove was restarted. Just another idea for a cause!
If you haven't jumped the vacuum switch? Try that before you spring for a new board.
Jsut bouncing idea's on this one! Another thing that has tripped some up is pellet bridging in the hopper. A temporary bridge will deprive the unit of fuel and make the controller think its out of fuel. Pellets might(not always) fall to the auger but its to late and the stove will go out.
Keep us posted!
Well I came home from shopping today and it was off again, burn pot empty and #3 light blinking. Seems the auger stopped again, in heat level #4. I did not get a pic of the controller yet.
The leaf blower cleanout was done in the beginning of the fall.
I watched the stove when I got home yesterday and the fire kept going out due to lack of pellets. I think that issue stemmed from switching to the Cheat River pellets I just got. They seem to burn quicker and hotter than the couple bags of Green Supremes leftover from last season that I started with, so the stove was not feeding the pellets fast enough or at enough volume. I changed the trim setting and heat level and it ran without going out.
I still think it has the auger issue that just stops feeding altogether as explained earlier but I will monitor and see what happens now.
The hopper was vacuumed out at the end of last season but I didn't remove the auger cover.When was the last time the hopper was vacuumed out and you removed the auger cover located in the hopper?

Gotcha, I only ran about 5 bags so far since it's been done. And only one ton all last season, as I only heat my garage to 62f, so it doesn't get alot run through it. Is the POF thermodisc in the burn box or the one in the combustion blower?Should be done once a month unless using ducsty pellets then every other week.

POF is mounted on the combustion blower housing.
