I just replaced my auger motor with a new one, still not working, not feeding. The heating element is working, I can start a fire by feeding it by hand but the blower motor does not blow heat at the end of the cycle. The thermostat does start the stove going but no pellets are dropping. Any ideas?

Does the combustion fan come on when starting?
Is the hopper lid closed and latched?
Here is a manual if you do not have one

Maybe hopper switch, $19 it is a magnetic solid one can not jump/bypass it without cutting wires They make a jumper for it but it is 3x the price so would be cheaper to buy new switch. Or cut wires twist them together see if auger works. If works need new hopper switch if still doesn't run you could splice wires back together.
