Good Morning
CB 1200 FS. was in house 2 years ago when bought .
Has always been touchy stove
Just replaced auger motor. Now stove will go thru startup and then will stop feeding.
check MV on Tcouple...30 Mv. Bought a new one anyway
I can see a green light on control board, but it will not feed pellets
I even hooked up new Tcouple outside stove and heated with a lighter and got green light, but stove will not feed
I know I have vacuum or stove would not feed on startup
Any thoughts ?? Thanks
 
Try reversing the thermocouple wires. A lot of the aftermarket are reversed. Snap disc #2 controls the auger feed along with the hopper switch so check them also
 
I would look int the other switches also.

thanks for your help.
replaced the T couple this AM and still had issues.
Took out the control board and took it to local dealer and we put in floor model and confirmed it was the control board.

Great tip and it worked ! After market parts , in my opinion, are generally not OEM nor dependable. New igniter and snap switch 2 both defective !
