Ok when I tried the first fire on the year a couple weeks ago, my eco-45 started fine. (everythings was cleaned of course it's my 4th season)

But 12 hours later when I went to check it, it was off and smelled like something electrical burned.

Checked fuses, main one was blown (7,5a) replaced it with another one and as soon as I plug the stove, the fuse is blowing.

After investigation, found out that auger motor is burnt. Bought another one and reinstalled it. So now here is the problem, the fuse do not burn, everything seems ok, but I hear the auger motor humming even in off position? I not sure if it's a good idea to start the stove that way??

EDIT: forgot to mention I got an error code 138
