Couple days ago my auger motor stopped working or so I thought. Auger does not turn but I do have constant power to it. So went and picked up a replacement auger motor from earth sense. Plugged it in and nothing. I still have constant power to the connectors.

So first question does the main circuit board supply constant or intermittent power to the motor?
Second any thoughts on what could be wrong?

Stove is a Volegelzang VG 5770
 
what is the constant power? 110-120vac?
 
Did you check for voltage with a multimeter?Make a test cord and attach to thr auger motor and plug into the wall outlet. If it runs the motor is good.
