I have a Ashley 5660 stove that is a few years old. I blew the 7.5 fuse, replaced it after a good cleaning, and now on start up, I get the E4 code and it won't light. Any help out there?

E4 is ignite failure. Either the stove didn’t ignite or the low limit doesn’t detect it. You say the stove won’t light at all.
About 1/3 the way down this page is a board test. It’s the same board in your stove, and mine. You can walk through the test and it will check the board and devices. When you get to the igniter, remove the burn pot, leave it for a couple minutes and see if it starts to glow, and feel if the air around it starts to get warm. Don’t actually touch it!

If the igniter doesn’t get warm, the next thing would be to pull a side panel and check the igniter with a multimeter. That would determine if it’s the igniter, or something else like the power board or bad wiring. With the fuse blowing, I would wonder if there’s a short in the igniter or wiring.

I'd have to know what the auger voltage was and hook up an external supply to push it. Neither of which do I have, though I could probably borrow a supply from work. @IHATEPROPANE: What would you recommend for sealing the gap?
