I have an American Harvester 6039. Last night my house filled with smoke & set the smoke alarms off. After checking out the stove today I see the agitator isn't rotating... Could it be a fuse? If not, then what?

Checked the chain and drive motor? Firewall bushing wears and binds the the shaft too. Big pain to replace.
I don't think the 6039 has a chain...just the motor. At least that's how mine is. I do know there are variations of that stove tho....I have the 4 button style...motor could have bit the dust like mine...welcome to burning without the stirrer!! some ppl like it better....
. i didn't know it was possible to burn without the stirrer... Tell me more about how to do it.
you really just run it the same way...you have to increase combustion..also i use a big spoon to clean out the burnpot when it gets full...scrape the pot out until theres just a few pellets left....
