I have a 10 year old Harman Accentra FS pellet stove. Periodically it stops feeding pellets. Sometimes it starts up, sometimes not because the auger does not feed.

When I turn it in test mode, it feeds fine and sometimes it solves the problem. Sometimes not. I never get any error lights.

What’s next?
 
Sounds like a cleaning issue. Clean vent and stove
