I have a magnum DC Model pellet stove I’ve done all the cleaning thoroughly and the other day the auger got clogged and I cleaned it as usual but now it won’t stop feeding the pellets fast they’re feeding it to fast to where it’s just filling the pot and creating a huge fire. Any advice can help thanks!
 
 
You have a somewhat relevant problem that I have with a blower motor. My thinking is that it has to be an issue with the control board. I say that because it controls all the fans motors. First by sending power to the motors in order to run and/or at what speed to run at. The auger motor is obviously getting power but not feeding at the rate to which you have it set on the control board, which tells me it has to be the board. The auger motor is just doing what it's told. Maybe when the auger got jammed it whacked out the control board?
