Bought a house with this Ashley stove in it. The stove will run fine for maybe a day then the auger gets jammed. If I take the cover plate off the auger and clean the pellets out and shake the auger or work it while the stove is running it will free up and run for 1/2 - to a full day again before jamming. Is the motor weak? I have read posts on this site about the stove. Have to say I don’t think it’s a vacuum issue etc. appears to me the auger simply gets jammed up. Running new dry pellets and I have tried several different brands. Thank you for any help
