Englander/ Summers Heat Overfeeding of pellets

[ldl]

First time this season using my 55-shpep stove.
On ignition the auger continually feeds does not pulse feed the auger and when i shut down the auger still feeds I have to lift the lid for the auger to stop and the stove to shut down.
I reset the board to factory settings and still have same result.
Have an email into england stove works.
Any thoughts I am thinking control board is shot. This is the start of season 5

Please share how your stove is set up .Do you have an OAK ,Have you checked all wiring connection ,some time the connectors do not seat correctly . Heat sensor wire tight on connection to exhaust blower body . It would be helpful to know .

Do you have an OAK

How would that contribute to the problem?
If his stove used to run okay?
Just curious, I have one of those as well.

Pete sometimes bugs get in the outside air pipe ,and the nest they build can choke off the air flow . No air coming in that line chokes the stove ,would send the board the wrong signal .

Ok... I see what you mean... mine came with a screen over the end of it...

Sounds like a circuit board issue alright, like transistor that feeds auger is shorted and providing continous power until circuit is interrupted via hopper switch. Can be fixed if you can find technician that knows how to trouble shoot and swap out faulty component.

OAK is set up all pipes and oak cleaned, stove had major cleaning at end of last season prior to shut down.
set on on off for thermostat, Also tried non thermostat setting all with same result.

Depending on the responce from englander ,I think i will probably go the new controlller and see if it is cost effective to get the old one repaired for a backup.
