Englander Pellet Stove 25-IP Auger not turning

[TypsyGypsy]

Hi im not sure if you can help or not, I have a older model pellet stove that is having issues. Its an Englander brand and the top auger is not turning on start up . It is not jammed and will run when bypassing the vacuum switch during test mode. However if I try and start it up while still bypassing the switch it doesnt run. We have replaced both Vacuum switches and hoses and are still having issues

Welcome to the Forums Typsy. was the stove plugged in all summer? is the hole the hose hooks to in the back of the firewall open? Has the exhaust vent been cleaned out, ck for bird nest, ash, etc.

It was unplugged and stored in the garage during the summer as we were remodeling the room where it usually sits. Before bringing it in we cleaned it from top to bottom. It ran for a while the first day without issue then the next we started having this problem. In our inspection trying to trouble shoot this we decided to replace the combustion blower since it seemed like the bearings were not allowing it to turn freely. After changing that out we are still having the same issue. We swapped auger motors to test that and again same issues .. even with the bottom auger motor in the top it only ran in diagnostic mode and not once started up.

if it doesn't run with the vac switches bypassed i would have to say your looking at getting a new control board.

We ended up ordering a new control board. Hopefully this fixes it lol otherwise i am out of ideas.

I'm confident just make sure you unplug before you work on it. that board has line voltage all over it and it bites
