Went out shooting today and came home to a cold house so I decided to burn the stove for the first time.

Background, ESW England's Stove Works 25PDV had a full cleaning and testing of everything early spring so I expected the stove to crank right up. Ha!

Cranked her up and no pellets were fed into burn pot. A quick look and lower auger was not turning. Found the original motor which was replaced in 2014 and installed it to fix the problem.

I now need to order a spare motor so I needed to find this thread which is now locked.
Great information here on quality of replacement motors!

I should have bought a few spare auger motors years ago...
