How do figure out if the auger motor is bad or the bearing block?
My stove starts up fine but after a while it stops since no pellets come out. I check the bin and it's full. So I go behind the stove and check the auger motor and the top auger is stuck so I force it free and start up the stove and it's fine.
I'll leave and return later and it burned out again. While burning I can hear the motor when it turns. It is a little louder than it used to be but I also hear slight clunking. Sounds like when I force the auger free and the motor is hitting the bottom support plate.
Any suggestions or should I just replace the entire auger, motor and bearing block? I purchased the stove used last year and from the receipts I got with the manual nothing has been replaced since 2008(?).
Thanks for your help.
