Whitfield optima 30 starts runs for a few min. Shuts down . Photo eye clean, blower blows air but after a few min. It use to automatically kick in and blow harder. Not doing that and stove shuts off. Auger is feeding fine.

Ck your low limit snap disc, on or near you exhaust housing/combustion blower. Connect the two wires together and see if stove works normal. When you do anything in the back or with wire always unplug the stove first. When was the last thourough cleaning done? May be a vacuum issue also

Optimas use a photo eye for POF, not a low limit.
